The video, "Million Dollar Honda Motorcycle? | Moto Madness Episode 2," features Smoke Eye from Dark Cloud Fab Custom Motorcycle Shop. He covers various motorcycle topics, including marketplace finds, industry news, and a custom build spotlight.

Key topics covered in the video:

Dark Cloud Fab's Presence at Mama Tried Show (0:56-2:36): Smoke Eye announces that Dark Cloud Fab will be at the Mama Tried motorcycle show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on February 21st and 22nd. They will showcase custom handlebars, sissy bars, hard tails, axle plates, and the Ferro Chopper in bare metal fabrication. He highlights their focus on stainless steel parts due to Chicago's rusty climate.
Marketplace Finds and Opinions (2:40-21:28):
1996 Custom Fat Boy (2:52-5:46): Smoke Eye reviews a 1996 custom Fat Boy listed for $15,000, claiming it was built by Count Customs. He expresses skepticism about its "custom" status, noting it appears to be a stock bike with bolt-on accessories, and states he wouldn't buy it for the asking price.
BMW K100 Cafe Racer (6:16-14:17): He discusses a custom BMW K100 cafe racer, priced at $12,500. He praises its unique rear suspension and clean build but questions the value, as K-series BMWs are not as desirable as classic boxer models.
Newly Built Pancharo Hard Tail Chopper (14:29-21:28): Smoke Eye analyzes a newly built hard tail chopper with a Pancharo frame and Revtech 100 motor, listed for $8,500. He expresses concern about its "no miles" status, as it suggests the bike hasn't been ridden to sort out potential issues. He appreciates its classic chopper elements but suggests improvements like more rake and a lower front seat mount.
Motorcycle News (21:42-40:02):
Neo-Retro Electric Motorcycle (CIULATO) (22:04-26:47): Smoke Eye talks about the CIULATO electric motorcycle by Compass Rose, which debuted at CES. He likes its styling and carbon fiber build but criticizes its $50,000 price for a city bike with a 93-mile range, stating it's currently only available in South Korea. He also mentions a more affordable model, the Dandelion, at $5,700, but finds it looks more like a toy.
Million-Dollar Honda Motorcycles (27:01-40:02): He discusses the possibility of two Honda motorcycles selling for over a million dollars at the Mecum Auctions on January 31st.
Honda CB750 Prototype (29:20-33:50): Expected to break the Cyclone V-Twin's $1.32 million record. Its value comes from being one of four pre-production prototypes with unique engine castings.
Honda RC174 Racer Replica (34:03-39:01): A six-cylinder, seven-speed Grand Prix racer with 66 horsepower at 17,000 RPM, ridden by Mike Hailwood. Despite being a replica, one sold for $750,000 in 2006. Smoke Eye is more impressed by its innovative engineering than the CB750's rarity.
Custom Build Spotlight: Robbie Palmer's Triumph Daytona 500 Bobber (40:15-49:47): The video spotlights Robbie Palmer's 1968 Triumph Daytona 500 bobber named Luna. Smoke Eye praises its clean, classic bobber style, custom handlebars, and unique headlight. He notes that Palmer taught himself welding, brazing, and fabrication during the build, which was featured at the Bike Shed Show in London.
