Crispy Fried Suzuki TS250X Motard Concepts



Concepts for a Suzuki TS250X with my 16x3 cafe wheels, which were originally budget motard wheels. The rear is a bolt in affair with custom spacers, but the front is much trickier. I am considering modifying the front hub to take a brake disc. Can be done, but at what cost?

Crispy Fried Yamaha DT175's


The Motard / Supermoto concept is simply the ubiquitous Yamaha DT175 with early 80s Suzuki RG250 Gamma front end and rear wheel. Both share the same rear axle sizes. I think its way cool and would be a lotta fun! Its funny, the smaller the bike the more fun it is!
The late 70s to early 80s road racer concept is also Yamaha DT175 with early 80s Suzuki RG250 Gamma front end and rear wheel and TZ250/350 seat and tank. The tank will need to be shorter to suit the DT. This is my favorite concept since coming up with the DR400 vintage supermoto!
I would like to do this project in this order - first building the Supermoto and then later the micro-road-racer.

Hand Made Vintage Customs - Bike Show 7th April 2013



Attended the Hand Made Vintage Kustoms Bike show in Malaga just yesterday, and here are a couple of happy snaps. Great variety of bikes and some cars too. Real hot-rod kind of atmosphere. Was also great to get a look in the HMVK shop and see what builds are in progress. For further details check out their facebook page.
