It never ceases to amaze me how people go for the most well known and publicized things rather than do a little research to find something better. OCC is not even close to the last word in bike building. All they do is piece together things that are either pre-made or have most of the work done out of house. Northrop should be ashamed to showcase how they spent $150K of taxpayer dollars on this ill-conceived hunk of junk when they could have at least gotten a real quality, artisan piece from the likes of WCC, Martin Bros. or Paul Yaffe.

Some people are devoted the main style of choppers and I reckon they will call other occ bikes like the commanche helicopter bike or the black widow "hunks of junk" , some people need to grow up understand other peoples point of view.

With virtually all of the major defense contractors suffering under savage program reductions imposed under the new adminstration, how can they spend this kind of money on such a useless trophy? And as far as OCC is concerned, they may have been decent builders at one time, but I feel that they have become sad parodies of themselves. The only build that moved me was the NYFD 911 memorial bike. It’s a shame Northrop Grumman went this route.

This bike is derivative and unoriginal. A completely borrowed design. Are you kidding me? This looks like something Mattel toys would have designed for a 3 year old. It's goofy, ghastly and unpleasant to look at. A sight gag. A transvestite among designs. Why not make a Barbie bike? A Corvette bike? A Gov Mark Sanford bike? Lookit bros -- give me something original. A girl in a stealthy thong bikini would have been infinitely more interesting to celebrate the B-2. Stealth technology, as hatched by Kelly Johnson's crew, was a total original - driven by a one-time technological insight and shop skills worthy of the adjective "genius". This motorbike mocks that level of brainpower, creativity and problem-solving. It damns with faint praise. Maybe OCC should design dresses and shoes and sets for Britney Spears. Huh ?

I also expected them to make the handlebars similar to the bombers shape. I do love how the handlebars go through the gas tank though. Even the haters have to admit thats very innovative. The colors is way too light though. The bomber seems much darker. Overall 7.5 out of 10. I would have loved to have seen the wings coming from the gas tank to signify the B2s unique shape.

He died after doing ballistics experiments at Stringfellows, Riverside County, CA. A team of 15 and 13 died of cancer. My father made the B-2 fly, and Northrup had him do experiments at Stringfellow, then die of cancer.

All of OCC's stuff is awful now, and senior has surrounded himself with sooo many "yes" men to appease his ego that OCC will be bankrupt and gone in the next few years, and senior still won't know why...there is no one left to tell you that you're "idears" of what looks good and is "cool" just isn't!
