Special Thanks To regular contributor Mr Dave Innola for the great pictures!
Honda 50R
A Moto Parrila Single Cylinder Racer.
Aermacci 2-stroke Racer
I stumbled across this very radical build pic on a message board. It was billed as an XS650 based custom. I’m not so sure though. Either way there’s a LOT of love in this build. There is no other info available. If anyone can fill us in it’d be much appreiated.
I realize that I have another blog for 2 stroke bikes but someties something pops up over there that just transcends the genre. This picture (for me) is one of those times. If this doesn’t get your attention then… damm.. I just don’t know how to help you..
What an amazing Idea! I keep coming back to lok at this concept. This bike has ridiculous potential. I could just imagine a budget racing class for these similar to the vintage CB160’s that have become so popular.

I thought I would share a fun little 250 Nighthawk/Dream 50R mashup I created in Photoshop for your Motorcycle Picture of the Day website. Yes, it looks as if it has a hydraulic drum on the rear, and it is in desperate need of a front disk and 18″ rear rim. But it makes the point that Honda’s little 250 twin could be really cool looking in something a lot more fun than the Rebel cruiser and dowdy commuter bike Honda puts them in now.
Michael Middeldorff from germany send in his version of a sporster XCR. What a great take on a TT style ride. This bike must be an absolute blast to ride.
Thanks for the pictures Michael!!
UPDATE: Apparently our favorite concept designer has been looking at these old beauties for inspiration!
From the days when you could buy a “real” motorcycle at a department store or out of a mail order catalog. What a fantastic example. And yes that’s a rebadged Benelli.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
