Sure it’s a big corporate sponsored show bike (which I usually don’t go in for) but the creative routing of the exhaust straight off the turbocharger is just too freaking cool.
One old and one new but both “classics”.
The first is from Richard E Jones who is also the owner of the excellent Motokafe Blog. Very nice site. Be sure and check him out. He sends in a stylish pic of the “business end” of his sweet 2010 Ducati Hypermotard.
The next bike was sent in by Josh Wright
Josh sends in his… “1985 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000 IV, it’ll be taking me to France, Switzerland and Italy this summer, can’t wait.
All original with 40mm Del’Orto carbs and La Franconi exhausts, which give the deepest roar at idle and sound even better on the road.”
Really great rides gentlemen. thanks very much for sending them in. I envy you both.
Some old school Bavarian cool! And it’s for sale. Don’t know for how long though. For the record, no not mine and I do not know the owner.
It’s my understanding from reading some translated pages that there were only 13 of this French made racing model ever built. I’m searching in vain for a definitive site on this brand. Any help along these lines that I could pas along to my readers would be very much appreciated!
Mario Spatarella sends in some pics and video of his tough looking scrambler. I love the pipe treatment and blacked out wheels.
Thank You Mario!
Here’s a nice Video.
Don Miller from Metro Racing sends in this beauty that he’ll be campaigning at Daytona in a little more than a week. You can see an earlier pic of the bike HERE from a previous post.
He Writes:
Hey Steve;
Haven’t had any 2 stroke stuff to send lately. Here’s something that may interest your readers.
My Sonic Weld, hard tail, Brakeless, DT1 250 Yamaha all ready for the new AMA Vintage Flat Track season opener at the Daytona Motor Speedways new short track on Feb 28th. If you are down there for bike week. Make sure you stop by! Seeing all these old flat trackers out on the track will be worth the trip. Racing starts at 11:00am on Sunday. Followed by an awesome amateur flat track program.
See you at the races,Don
Thanks again for the picture and for the heads up on those vintage Flat Track dates! I’ll try and make it down for sure!
