Team Sable's "Barro" steampunk chopper

Team Sable's latest custom chopper takes the mechanics of a Harley-Davidson and melts some steampunk brass and rivets into its soul to create something bad ass.

And while the "Barro" may look pretty, a ride on its T-Sable Springer engine and Harley-Davidson transmission would easily toast anything coming straight from the factory. Great work guys!

And the best part? Unlike the Black Widow steampunk chopper, the Barro is real.

One of the "the best" bikes I have seen to date. Puts Jesse James, OCC and others to shame. Beautiful!

Awesome. At first i thought it was filled with bullets ready to feed a hungry MG42!

Hmm. Nope, not my style. Too modern in it's "lead sled" lines. To go that extra mile, they should have made it a bit blockier.

I think it's quite beautiful. I'm not going to argue about whether or not it matches "steampunk aesthetics" because I'm not all that Steam to begin with, but I like the combination of modern, smooth lines with the aggressive looking materials and would find it even more beautiful if the chrome were just silver colored, instead of trying to look steampunk. Nice on its own merits.
