Thanks to Jim Wiley for sending these in!You sir have some skills! Jim if you read this I’m sure folks might have some questions as to the builds. If you get a chance could you go through some of the bigger mods.
Thanks!
1971 Honda CB450K4 and a 1975 Honda/Harley CB750F both bikes built in my garage by myself.
Caught this last year in the parking lot of the Riding Into History Show. It’d be dead simple to build and a fun little scoot. With gas prices going the way they have been I’ve been giving something like this some thought.
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!
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..
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.
Mike sent me a link to his Flickr site and I grabbed these two! Nice Stuff!
His original E-mail about the CR500
This is my CR500 AFC Supermoto 79RWHP. I mostly run it on the street but for fun I took it to the drag strip and ran a 12.4 @ 101.4mph 1/4mile. It didn’t have a soft enough tire to launch hard but still fun beating Vrods and cbr600s!
It’s a crazy fun bike. Street titled and all led lights.
This will be up for sale soon to fund a Kawasaki H1 drag bike 🙂 the wheelie bar on it is from the H1 project haha
Thanks
And a nicely modded GT!
I miss the early “Frankenstein” days of drag racing. And Russ Collins Was a seriously MAD scientist!
As the Email put it:
How is this? A cafe racer with a training wheel and a bunch of HP
Looks like a turbocharges CB750… with a sidecar rig.. lordy!
And if fun is the point then this is a good start for a first build.

…first bike I ever owned, thus the first bike Ive modded. Also, the NOS bottle…its a toolbox, the top just pops off. But it makes the guys on the HDs think twice, bout messing w me… lol
I realize that I’ve been hitting the 2 strokes a bit hard lately but they keep popping up in my e-mail and they’re too nice not to post. Keep em coming though! I don’t mind!
Thanks to Mariano Bertoli for the photo’s!
