Here's one of my latest builds ........ It started life as a Tamiya 1/12 scale kit of a Suzuki Katana. Then I chopped it up a bit.

This is "Rosie" that's the name she came with, paid £500 quid for her a few months back but has a few issues to sort out this spring before I can finally go for a ride :-)

Is that the original colour?

Post by: davidm1945 on January 26, 2014, 06:13:41 pm
My first bike was a 175cc BSA Bantam in blue with cream fuel tank sides. Being a 2 stroke it belted out white smoke wherever I went. If I dropped the fuel/oil ratio the engine would seize and lock the back wheel. It would only do a little over 40 mph - just as well really! I sold it and bought a 250cc Royal Enfield Crusader Sports in Burgundy Red - beautiful bike - wish I had it now...... <:(

No I don't think it's an original colour, just the colour the chap I bought from liked, no worries to me it'll serve it's porpoise  :-))

Now I would love a Royal oilfield I mean Enfield, I had an ex police 250 Clipper and sadly missed to <:(

Another biker here, just picked up a new Yamaha Super Tenere last month.
It gets even more fun as it is my only transport so are currently working out how to transport boats on it.
The Springer tug is OK as it fits in the toolbox but the others............

Post #10 - then realised later these are model kits - nice but I like the top ones and yes I agree, they look like lawmaster variants - oooo would love a lawmaster, not stallones that was a convertered moped. {-)

Already have a similar setup - the springer fits in an old manky Givi top box but the passenger seat comes off and there is a plate to fit stuff too. Just right to fix a transport case to - all I will have to do is build the case with shock and vibration in mind!
