Classic Motorcycles

Classic Motorcycles - The Suzuki GSX1100E
After the "power is everything" attitude of Japanese motorcycle manufacturers in the late 60s and 1970s, the 1980s saw potential legislation and handling concerns as issues that needed to be addressed. As far as legislation was concerned, manufacturers were beginning to realise that some bikes could be legislated off the roads, particularly when you consider the previously unheard of power-to-weight ratios available to people of just 17 years of age with little road experience.

This had already prompted Germany to introduce a 100bhp limit on bikes imported into the country which had already had Honda decreasing the bhp of its CBX1000 to 95 from 105bhp. As far as handling was concerned, the big new Suzuki was a step up from the plethora of 1000cc machines. Despite the fact that the frame of the GSX1100E was pretty conventional, with a tubular steel duplex frame and twin rear shock absorbers, it was the engine that gave it its edge.

This most about custom motorcycles is that no matter how outlandish a potential idea may be someone somewhere will probably get around to building one. I'd wager that torque is NOT a problem with either of these bikes.

Moto Guzzi Cafe Style Motorcycles

That Moto Guzzi Cafe is very nice to look. I love this orange color motorcycle that uses something as big as tennis balls for carb plugs.

Honda CB 200 West Style Modification

Actually, a quick two trends are similar but not the same or similar practically. The basic difference is when the Japanese style is built with a minimalist style models like Japanese motorcycles used, Western-style tends toward chooper.

In the middle two-wheeler trend modifications that lead to the style of classic Japanese motorcycle aka Japanese Style, Indonesian Modificator seem to want to break that trend and modifying his Honda CB 200 with a flow Western Style

Reader Ride., Beautiful XS650 Bobber

No description of the build of this bike but the bike pretty much speaks for itself. On a side note the originals photos were huge and of outstanding quality. Beautiful build!

DIY Electric Motorcycle Conversion

DIY Electric Motorcycle Conversion - The old rebel rolling chassis provided us with many of the needed parts - wheels, tires, brakes, etc... which was a real bonus - but it also supplied us with many rusty, broken, stripped or missing parts. In fact, most of our difficulties were because of the old parts, not because of the conversion itself. Without these annoyances, the conversion would have taken about two and a half days.

With an onboard 48V charger and 3-prong wall plug hardwired on, recharging is easy anywhere there's a wall outlet. Charging time depends upon how depleted the batteries are, but usually they were topped off after 5-8 hours.
