What do you want to see Aaron build next?
A chopper
Honda ftr223 rebuild
Honda NR 750
VFR 750, FZS 600 Fazer 98-03, Honda cb500 twin
Restoring a sportsbike into formor glory - Honda rc-51, ducati 748 etc.
Next build Twin Turbo Goldwing!
What do I start looking for first? The turbos or the gold wing?
The body kit 😁
@@addeats appropriate responce!!
Lol been watching too much shadetree surgeon, Jake 😂
Yup Put a Turbo on a Gold Wing Good ideao for a project for you Jake ... I have looked at the Turbo for an FZ-07 they sell a nice kit in Australia swing arm extensions too .. for obvious reasons.. It's simpler to just get an MT-09 However..
It's actually ridiculous how good Aaron is at building bike's, anything he touches turns to pure gold. Already looking forward to the next bike build.
I dont agree. That 1 inch headlight looks ignorant and the rake is all wrong for this type build
@@brandonknight7240smartass
As a swiss - he looks like he is in residential area. Washing down chemicals like this in your driveway can get you in real trouble in most countries in Europe.
Aaron needs his own bike building channel with episodes out weekly
My 25min. yoga session is over, now I can start my day :D Best content on RedBull chanel by far, can not wait for the next build :D
It's rok bagaros⚡⚡
Big fan rock love your stunting and your content you're simply awesome, love from India
Big fans of KTM street bike and ofcourse you
I had a cup of tea and just got on with it.
I have honestly never seen a workshop this organised and clean in my. Life
For real. Made me want to give him all my stuff to fix.
It's a set
If shop is not clean and organized never take bike or car to it. If shop looks bad shows low standards, run
The best part of your videos @Aaron Colton is that you do all this stuff right at home. I started a "side gig" of buying old dirtbikes, fixing them, and selling them mainly to deal with my PTSD. It is great to see people doing stuff in their own backyards. I wish more people attempted to do stuff like this rather than paying others to.
I want to start wrenching on bikes and have zero experience do you got any tips ?
I work in my own garage.
Do they even have custom bike shops?
@@futuress4236 Just watch CZcams. Not intended to be a free Ad, but you can pretty much find a video on anything you need to do here - if not several versions of the same task, but done by different people. It will help if you choose a bike that already has lots of content on here. LOTS to choose from!! Enjoy!!! Oh, plus also join a Forum for your bike.
@@futuress4236 start with simple stuff. oil changes, brakes, adjusting chain, and so on.
I just prefer most people. Don't touch older bikes...
This makes them affordable!
I'm having my eyes on a hawk now, which I hope to snag up for €500,-...
Fuel tank has rotted out, exhaust leaking...
If I clean the tank completely, I can make dents where the holes are and fill then with lead, easy, affordable and reliable after coating the inside...
My favourite show on CZcams hands down, this dude is my hero! 👌🏻
You know there are individual youtubers that have made entire bikes with no sponsors, pools of money, no super expensive camera with a camera crew. I recently saw a guy build an entire electric bike by himself.
As the video is a year old, no idea if you'll see this Aaron, but I gotta say, your speed and efficiency along with the finished product is such a massive inspiration to me. Been doing light builds for years and seeing this totally reinvigorated me as to what's possible without a massive budget and months of work. Intend to watch all your how to videos and get back to building again. Thanks a ton!
He has comeback
And here to stay :) busy summer Ahead.
This dude is so precise! Cheers from Lithuania, Aaron. Thank you Redbull for these videos! Masterpiece.
Thank you!
Picking up a second hand project:
Step 1: Ctrl+Z repeatedly till none left
Step 2: Resume from where it's left off
😆😆
Watching this video and looking at how artistic and beautiful the restoration of the RC31 is just insane to me. It's crazy how much you can do in your garage. Beautiful bike !!!
Aaron, do a more detailed garage tour, where you got some things, how you use them, favourite tools, toolbox tours etc.
czcams.com/video/4VSrpR3b2CE/video.html
A jack of all trades. You hit the nail on the head with the aesthetic of this one, but the best part is knowing it will be ridden hard for someone as talented as yourself. Thanks for that!
These videos need to be about 10 times longer. Best build videos out there. I’ve probably watched each one a dozen times.
Absolute Beauty.. I reckon Aaron nailed it with the design and colour as well as the graphics..Good on ya Aaron , job well done.
Love seeing new Hawk content!!!!
Please keep these videos coming everyone loves AC and the builds he does!
That level of perfection he has is just amazing. Thanks for the vids!
Watched from start to finish. Your camera work and story telling are on point. Your time-lapse slider sequences were a bonus 👍🏻
Beautiful build and cool to see how it came about. Parts break down would be great so us other creaters can build similar hot rods. Props for bringing back a great bike.
Beautiful, my hero, what a piece of art you just did!!!!
What a beautiful build and it rips. The perfect blend of excess as well as taste. That is a very hard thing to get well. Thanks for all the hard work. Love your videos, can’t wait to see what’s next.
It's good too see that my redbull addiction funds amazing things like this
Great build and an amazing video Aaron!! Great work!
I always loved Hawk GT's. I was a motorcycle messenger in Chicago when they first came and It was the bike I really wanted but at the time couldn't afford. I bought an '84 VT500 Ascot instead. It was actually the perfect bike for that crazy job.
I traveled to London from NZ in the late 80s, and got a job as a motorcycle courier, i thought i would get some sort of training but i was given a bike, a list of my regular clients a 2 way radio, a call sign, an A to Z of London map book, and off i went, into the complete chaos that was/is London :-) In the UK it is completely legal to filter through stationary traffic, so at every red light, all the couriers (and back then there was LOADS of us) would ride to the front, and every light change became light a GP start :-). Started on a company owned CX 500, which was almost the perfect courier bike and very common among riders, then bought a Honda XBR500, (don't know if the US got those) which was nice and slim, for weaving in and out stopped traffic. Delivered everything from Donor organs to some very dodgy packages for some very dodgy people :-) Mostly my main clients were magazine houses and TV studios. The London offices of Vogue, Elle, The Face, were regular haunts as well as ITV (independent Television Studios). Did it for 5 years, made real good money once i knew my way around, and saw some wacky shit. Loved it.
What I like about you is that you do a lot of the work yourself and don’t go overboard spending huge money.You have a nice shop and do stuff outside also,lol.just like your average back yard mechanic.Doing rattle can painting.low budget rebuilds but high skilled finished bike,just freaking awesome!Well done!Respect✊🏼no worries about the youth of today,with people like you out there!
Love this in depth show ! I have been missing this kind of show on proper motorcycles!
Dang, I actually wanted to see how all the light works. Brake lights, turn signals and all that. But dang, it looks fire!!
I think your shop is about the best I have seen on the Tubes. Very cool, dude. Fantastic re-build.
Thank you! Tiny and mighty but we like to pump out all kinds of projects in garage 93.
Amazing re-build, Aaron. Just stunning!
Love these garage restoration projects Aaron does. Please keep doing them!!
That’s the plan! Stay tuned this summer for more.
Great Job! Hawk Nation!
Man I wish I had his experience and I wish I could afford to do things like this when I'm his age.
Love my 88 Hawk GT. Thanks for picking this bike to build, you always do top notch work!
Prices just went through the roof on these now
Just paid 1k for a cream puff low mileage stocker. There are deals to be had. My old race hawk has about 4k into it but is priceless to me.
@@ducatiboy There's a couple in TX on CL right now for just under $2k. Which seems lower than they've been the last few years.
As we say here in germany .
"Betriebserlaubnis erloschen"
But nice bike :)
A builder that doesn't like his hands get dirty. Clean as you go as they say. 1 in a million! Hope i can see more videos like this and of course with your ftr!
I have watched this video a couple hundred times, its honestly a piece of art, I need more videos like this, unique
Dude the drone shots of the ride are astonishing. Great work awesome video and fantastic camera work.
Nice build! I race a RC31 and love it, I hope you’ve figured out that you need a lot more slack in your chain 😊
I race one as well & it’s my favorite bike to race, even over my modern bikes.
Do you know what subframe he used to run the rs125 tail?
I've had once since 92 that is about to get another rebuild. Perfect timing.
I had a red (89?) I bought new in 92 and built into a mint two brothers RC31 beast. I was moving cross country so sold it in 94. Only bike sale I've regretted.
Such and awesome and under appreciated bike! Good luck on you build.
@@AaronColton93 Thank you. Cheers.
Very beautiful bike, i love watching you, restoring these old bikes!
If you play this video at 1.5x speed, it is still mostly in slow motion.
I just watched the whole video in 1.25
I'm about to build an epic icecream sandwich.
Me too!
So much knowledge in one video its super fun to watch I might need to start considering a different career and working with bikes because it literally brings a smile to my face watching people completely take a sport bike apart and put it back together
This is my favorite video on the internet
I absolutely love this. It's 100% my style, which feels weird to see.
I LOVE that small projector lamp headlight and in definitely stealing that idea for my bike.
AC just keeps knocking these out with insane results in an absurd time span. Jesus... is he even human?
This build reminds me of guy martins martek build
Fall In Love On The First Sight..
AARON'S WORKSHOP IS MY DREAM WORKSHOP 😭🙌
I’m in love with how it turned out
Yo Aaron, amazing build! Can’t believe you can cerakote in a home made oven like that, that might be the setup I was looking for to do my build! Also, I like those moving timelapses, makes the shots really dynamic and more interesting to watch...are they on a slider or is the movement added in the edit? Great video 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Glad you enjoyed the episode! Those moving timelapse shots are captured on a motion controlled timelapse system that we program to line up closely to the amount of time Aaron thinks it will take him to accomplish the section of the build we're capturing.
Agreed, lovin the home made oven 🤙🏽
Get you some Hordpower internals
Camshaft, pistons, jet kit, timing advance gear & give
that Hawk some (Red) wings.
Even 15 more horsepower on that bike is awesome-sauce.
It sure was tempting! I pulled the trigger on a few things but left the engine internals alone!
@@AaronColton93
At least put the 2° timing advance gear in there from Hordpower - very easy install & gives it some pep @ least. Def worth the 💰 & you'll notice an immediate difference in performance.
@@AaronColton93 Can you tell me what swingarm/wheel combo is swapped on the Hawk build?
a VFR 750 from mid-90's is the standard crossover for the rear tire/swingarm combo . . . lots of them out there.
videos like this quiet my soul. absolute beauty!
Tá aí uma série q amo ver. O cara manda muito. Usa técnicas muito boas. Conhecimento grande! Não vejo a hora de ver o próximo projeto
Great build, If you dont mind me asking who makes those sun glasses you were wearing at the start of the video I have been looking for something just like them, Thanks
me too
CARRERA 5046/S
what's up with the different shock used for the ending shots as opposed to the (ohlins?) shock used in the build shots?
Looked like a ttx36, and those are pretty sweet (biased...). I'm curious as well, as to why it was swapped.
Clearance between the gas reservoir and the rear wheel may have been an issue.
I love your videos Aaron. So much knowledge and great production value as well. Good work to all involved
The project came out absolutely stunning!! Such a beautiful raw machine with. What else a Honda fan or any 2-wheeler fan could possibly think of? Masterpiece!!
can we get a parts list? also if this is ever for sale... man would I buy it fast.
Aron is the kind of guy that would give you everything for free
the videography on these videos is next level
Such a beautiful build. What a masterpiece. This isent just a bike. It's art.
Makes the bike I did, with a similar intent, look like it was put together by joe biden....
Wow! That's some rebuilding talent over there...awesome to watch!
the sheer level of craftsmanship i just witnessed in this video is unparalleled .
Beautiful bike my friend thank you from Greece 💙🇬🇷💐
So the Doctor is now into restoring old bikes... great!!!
that's hands down, the best looking bike build yet !
My first and only bike was abrand new 1989 honda hawk that I dropped 10 minutes after buying it. Went to pick it up on a july 4th weekend after no lessons. Gave it gas, dumped the clutch and proceeded to fly out into the street. Dealer came out, check i'd bent the brake lever and clutch... he pushed it back into the shop and pulled the gate down. A shitty weekend but a good lesson. Went on to ride that bike into the ground for 10 years. Good times, I loved that bike!
I came across Aaron’s videos 2 days ago and I really appreciate his expertise on his bike builds. Mervin from Honolulu. I’ve always wanted to ride a street bike but never had a chance. Hopefully there will be a day I could one day Hit the road with a motorcycle
Excellent Hawk build! Really turned out great with the modern refreshed look!
This was extremely satisfying to watch! Aaron’s processes and clean builds are incredible and a pleasure to watch. What’s next?
This is my favorite build Aaron did on this series
Fantastic build and video. I truly enjoyed every minute.
Thank you.
That cerakote came out fantastically.
WOW! coolest Restoration I've ever seen
Man I love watching Aaron’s builds!!!
Please keep doing these love to see the fam in there too!

Wow! This is absolutely perfect!

Whoever edits these videos the goat
Wow...fine line between talented and gifted
Simply beautiful. I love that bike

Not sure how I got to this part of CZcams, but I don’t regret it. What this guy does is truly an art.
Love this series. Your workshop is like an operating theatre! Hella jealous lol

This gave me motivation to rebuild my 91 FZR600 sitting in the garage. I hope it comes out something like this when finished.
Je ne crois pas qu'il y a plus beau que ce projet,la vrai perfection.Bonne continuation
Loved this build soooo much !
