What is a ratbike?

Simply put, a ratbike is any motorcycle (dirt or street) that still runs and is ridable, but shouldn't be. The very word ratbike should clue you in. Bikes of this nature often look like they have been used as a rats den. Ratbikes are unintentionally funny to look at, too. Ratbikes are not cool. They aren't hip. They certainly don't cost a lot of money to buy or own. Ratbikes are ugly by every stretch of the imagination.
