Reply to comment by Varanjar in Randy Smith hoists 203 pounds of machine off the ground. c1970s by MyDogGoldi

What materials are they using for the frame and engine block? I'm pretty sure my little 49cc two stroke scooter is over 203lbs.

Randy Smith is a pretty well known early Harley builder, so I'm not sure where all the skepticism about this bike is coming from here. But if you want to see a similar build from someone else, do a search for Brew Bikes 45 Magnum, which weighs a bit over 300lbs.

So, a 'similar build' is ~100lbs heavier? That lines up with my skepticism.
