What do you guys think about the bike? The performance is extremely lacking but I do like the rusted look!

I have one, it makes a perfect hipster cruising bike, looks great sitting next to my rusty Faggio too.

The option to fix some of the rust is that you buy a wolfsbane and use a rusty livery lmao

I like the "barn find" look it has. It's pretty cool they added dry sump oil lines.

I bought one and it's pretty cool. It seats next to my rusty Slamvan and Rat-Loader.

By far my favourite addition overall (although mod Faggio wins for best looking, it's crap enough to not really matter)

Never thought I'd say this but it has a certain charm to it. Can you even upgrade it engine and turbo etc? And if so are they in line with the new bikes (35k brakes) or the bagger and daemon (7k brakes)?

You can fully modify it, everything is in line with the Wolfsbane in terms of prices. It's basically a normal Wolfsbane except it's rusty and doesn't have liveries.

Finally someone made a thread on this bike. I was going to make one if nobody made one by week's end.

 

The Rat Bike is my most prized bike.

Nope. Not the same. I bought one to fix up and the rusted livery sucks. It has a big ass stripe down the fenders.

 

I will post pics of mine soon.

I want to love it and the Wolfsbane. I really do. But I just can't get over that it has a springer rear end. It just ruins it for me. If it was a hardtail, it'd be perfect, I wouldn't ride anything else. Could replicate a Knucklehead so well with it, especially a military bike. And with the Rat Bike, it'd look like you pulled a WW2 Harley out of a field in Europe and rode it. It even has a springer seat option, but that's pointless with rear suspension. God, R*. Getting 95% of the way there, and then dropping the ball with the last 5%.

I fell in love with this bike as soon as I saw it. Still thinking of splashing out on a Wolfsbane as well, but I've always been a sucker for rusty rides.

I think i'll change my sissy bar to match the seat though.

Is it slower then the wolfsbane? (same bike but not rusty version)

 

Yes, absolutely. The little stat bars don't show it, but someone on a Wolfsbane will unerringly begin to pull away even if you floor it from a high speed roll.

What's that color combo if you don't mind me asking??

You have to use f*ckin glowing crew colours to get any sort of colour to bleed through the rust, so this colour is completely pointless for any vehicle other than the Rat Bike. Fair warning!

Please share the color combo, i tried all sorts of greens, but no color really stands out of the rust. How did you manage such an amazing job?

 

Thanks!

Turns like a tank, and is slow as heck, but this thing has quite the unique charm that no other bike can replicate (in my opinion):

I posted the colour I used a few posts above, and what you need to do to 'break through' the rust

No offence(i kinda dig it does look like that) but it really looks like some rusted prop that would perfectly blend in next to any rusty metal prop. :D

Rat Bikes are our MC's ride of choice. I call mine Original Sin.

Didn't realise you could respray them, but after a little experimenting I went back to the default colours. Nice amount of mod options too, even though most are quite subtle.

If I had to pick a favourite part about this bike, it would be the wheels. They just look so good part rusted, putting clean shiny chrome wheels on it seems wrong to me (to each their own, of course).

For the most part this update has been a nice surprise, I didn't expect to enjoy as many of the bikes as I have - this and the mod Faggio have won me over after telling myself I had no interest in them.
