Plan B Motorcycle blog has a nice build being documented. And it’s looking SAWEEET!
I don’t often post automotive video’s.. But damm!
THAT takes some big brass ones!
More Virago Cafe Sweetness…
I think these are on the verge of REALLY catching on in a big way. I know I’ve been keeping a casual eye out for a running beater just for the hell of it.
Sweet little Honda Tiger 200R build from Indonesian
I get some really nice bike from Indonesia. They really do a lot with what they have and these guys at ‘Wins Paddock’ look like they’re have some fun.
Thanks to Defry Kharisma for the pics!
But puckering trail riding video.
I realize that the wide angle lens exaggerates the effect but it’s still quite a ride!
Kawasaki Z1R sport Touring in the 70’s/80’s.
Too cool. In fact SO cool I couldn’t help myself. I lifted this right from the Z1R Facebook page. Hat tip to Osmund Abrahamsen the original poster of the photo.
Update: Wow! ermm… what is it?
Thanks everyone!
Hat tip to my readers for the links to the (always indispensable) Pipeburn magazine and article. It Fred Krugger’s ’66 Honda CB 450 – “Tribute to Japan”. Sent to me with no explanation or info. It’s obviously a quality build and professionally done photo shoot and I’d very much like to give some attribution so as not to step on copyright etc..
I wish we had more “entry level” bikes this cool.
A cool Honda FTR 223! Thanks to Gihan Anuruddha for the pics. Sorry for the spam filter delay.
A long time lament of mine here in the states. There is FINALLY some decent 250-500cc bikes coming that aren’t embarrassing turds. I wish they weren’t all sportbikes though. Something manageable along these lines would tempt more than a few 16 year olds I’d wager.
Another Spam filter salvage. A Nice scrambled beater XS650 out in the wild.
Hi there!
I’d love to find one of these in about this condition.
Last year I send you some pictures of my Honda shadow (https://motorcyclephotooftheday.com/2010/09/13/update-missed-a-good-pic-very-nice-low-budget-chop-from-the-netherlands/) The little Honda is now gone and this XS650 has been my new project ever since. I’m still frequent reader of your blog and thought my xs might be a good addition to your collection.
Around 1,5 year ago I bought this fairly stock 1979 xs650 and tried to turn it into a sixties scrambler. The xs is affordable and parts are easy to get. I stripped most of the unnecessary part to save weight and gain a clean look. Swapped the mag wheels for some nice spoke once to fit the new style. I am most proud of the scrambler-style exhaust, it took me a while to make it but i’m really pleased with both the look and sound. The battery is located underneath the swing arm to keep it as clean as possible. It’s a kick-only bike so a small battery does the job just fine. The original seat was an ugly chopperseat so we made a new one (thanks mom!). And last but not least the engine got a rebuild. When I opened here up I found some vw beatle pistons, so I replaced them with some fresh ones. Fitted new cam bearing and chain and she was ready to hit the road. Took quite a while to get the carbs tuned, but now she runs like a champ. Its a great little bike fore mainly the road and some light off road.
The tank is still stock and looks quite used, maybe a new paint job in the future but its fine for now.
Best regards,
Bjorn
