Racebike

The Cooley Crosby Suzuki endurance Racer.


Old school racing cool. This is a bit of a repeat. I have an old post on this bike but it was only one side shot. These are much nicer.

By Request… The Jay Springsteen Harley Racebike


Had a request from the previous post to see more of the #9 harley in the background. I know I’ve posted this bike before but I don’t get tired of looking at it.

By the way, the Google Search feature and the “word-cloud” really does work pretty well

Random Vintage Honda Racebike From Daytona last March


There’s a lot of these I’m yet to post… at least I don’t “think” I’ve posted this one yet…

2nd UPDATE: Suddenly Street Legal! BWM Cafe / Former Racer.


Second Update.  Thanks once again to our very knowledgeable commentators (thanks Tony) I have been informed that this is a creation of Ritmo Sereno (maybe I should try reading the decals on the bikes).  A seriously drool-worthy Japanese base builder of custom European machines.  Here is a direct link to one of the bikes below.   I can’t help you with the translation but the pictures speak for themselves.

Update:  A clarification.  As was pointed out in the comments I think it’s possible that this is the same bike but not really likely.  They are similar enough to make for an interesting blog entry but probably different rides.  Probably the same builder.  That or they knew (of) each other.

Now it’s a racebike….

Add lights and remove the pan and now it’s a Cafe… or is it the other way around.   Stunning bike(s) either way.

According To The Rumor Mill, Norton is going Racing!


…and not on a small scale either. They’re talking MotoGP. Is it possible that the new Rotary has been developed to the point that it could compete in GP? Will the rules even allow for a rotary bike? If not GP can it race in WSB? This should be interesting. Turn up the volume LOUD!

Here are some vids of the new Rotax powered racebike being developed….
