The Right Bobber @ the Right Time
Reduce your cost, reduce your carbon footprint and reduce your time… We are all looking for alternatives to do more with less. The Model 1 embodies our current realities. It is a custom production motorbike that provides over 50+ mpg, reduced cost of insurance and enhances your commuting fun factor.
- It’s a great looking bike with a big box of high-end parts built into the package at a very reasonable price.
– Edge, The Smoke Out
Everything You Need & Nothing You Don’t
Henry Ford said off his Model T, “You can have any color you want as long as it is black!” It’s the same with the Model 1.
The idea is to deliver the most amount of motorcycle for the least investment. The team at Brass Balls are focused on value.
- We just want to ride. Money’s tight, so here’s a bike to take you where you want to go, and when the cash flows you can add flames or whatever you want. But in the meantime, you’re riding class, goddamnit.
- Keith Randall Ball, Bandit from Bikernet
