2005 Jesse Rooke Custom Kali Kruiser 2500 Miles 115 HP
In a world of look-alike choppers with long rakes and dark colors, one builder stands out in the pack. He is Jesse Rooke and his bikes look more like bicycles on steroids than motorcycles. Innovative and creative are just two words to describe the self proclaimed “Rookie” in the motorcycle fabrication business. VIN # is CA 952411.
Although he considers himself a rookie, Jesse Rooke has won much acclaim for his limited years on the scene. At only 27 years old, he is a 3 time Best of Show & Pro Class winner at the LA Calendar motorcycle Show. His designs are just too cool and cutting edge to be lumped in with all the rest.
The bike being offered today is a 2005 Rooke Custom Kali Kruiser with only approx. 2500 miles. Jesse Rooke supplied the rolling chassis and other custom parts and then had Todd Silicato of Todd’s Cycles in Huntington Beach put the bike together. The owner chose not to wait 12 months to have the bike completed by Rooke so he asked for a recommendation. Jesse recommended only one builder and Todd Silicato was the man. Look at the pictures below and you will know why – the results are stunning!
And now the bike:

Vehicle Condition – – I have not personally inspected or photographed this vehicle. I am relying on the pictures and descriptions provided by the seller. I can however tell that this bike is in absolutely new condition with only 2500 miles. It is clearly a unique opportunity to own a truly cool bike. You just don’t see too many of these around and that is the beauty.
Please note that the bike is located in Miami, FL. The seller invites and encourages any interested party to come out and inspect the bike personally. Seeing will surely be believing. A serious bike for serious bidders only.
Please remember that this bike may pose some title or insurance challenges in your state. It is currently registered in New York and carries a “special construction” title.
I cannot be up on motor vehicle regulations for all 50 states so it is up to you to investigate prior to bidding. Not being able to title the bike or get insurance in your state will not be a reason to request a refund. Do your research. I will be happy to help if I can.
Also, note to Canadian bidders – unfortunately, your country does not allow you to bring in “special construction” motorcycles. Please do not bid if you are planning on importing to Canada. Sorry.
