1972 Ossa Byra 1000 4 cylinder!

WOW!!! More indo HERE!

Suzuki RG 500 MK1

Thanks to Dave Martin for the Pic.

Nice Suzuki Twin Roadracer. T500 maybe??

I'm guessing T500? Anyone know for sure? I admit that out of the big three (Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha) that Suzukis are not my strong suit.

A really stout Suzuki GT750.

Someone suggested that I don't post enough Suzuki's on here and they're right. So! Let's start with a wicked GT750 Dragracer.

Nothing at all against the brand it's just that I spend so much time in the Yamaha and Kawasaki camps. Shame on me really. They are a very deserving of a podium in the 2 stroke wars. Which position is up to you LOL...

 

Some more Suzuki action... Beautiful GT550 Cafe.

Reader Ride. Interesting Custom RD400

Mohith Saradhy sends in these pics of his custom / hybrid RD400.

Yamaha RZ50 (that's not a typo)

Take a g good look at the scale. It's a converted YSR. Really trick little bike that went around Deals Gap like a small daemon!

Stunning Motocarrera built custom.

RG250 project.

Saw this over on 2 Stroke World. More info at the link.  Nice stuff!

Penton / KTM "Jack Pine Special" Supermoto.

I get some good traffic over here from the PentonUSA.org folks so every now and then I like to go over and see what they're up to.  Great bunch of folks and if you're even remotely interested in old Penton or KTM motorcycles (or any old dirtbike from that era) then go pay em a vist.  Great Stuff!

Anyway while I was snooping around over there I stumbled across this beauty.  I love this sort of treatment.   I was very tempted to buy a similarly built bike a while back that was based on an XT500.  It's one of the styles of bikes that really shine when "modernized".  Power should NOT be a problem and I imagine she handles brilliantly.

Saw this on ktmtalk.com...In the "Oldie" Section Can't believe it -- but it's real...



Thanks Gents!

Kawasaki Lineups!

Outstanding Kawasaki KH400

Scott Flying Squirrel Rider!

Stumbled across a new blaog called "They Let Me Out For The Day" that had some really interesting pictures including this Scott Flying Squirrel.   Pay him a visit.  Some interesting stuff there.

Some very serious H1 nd H2 muscle.

Two fat piped triples not to be trifled with.

Update: 1968 Suzuki 50cc Grand Prix Roadracer, the RP68, a 3-cylinder 50cc engine pics.

Update: From the comments. Thanks! COOL LINK and HERE TOO

In response to my small CC Suzuki racebike post Bill Thomas sent in some info and a link about this amazing little Suzuki engine.
Bill Writes:
There was a 50cc Suzuki several years ago, a three-cylinder two-stroke (naturally) with 14 speeds and 22 hp at a zillion rpm, or something like that. Nothing the Europeans had was anything close. Not sure that it ever competed. This changed the rules, gearboxes were limited to four or five speeds, and only single-cylinders were allowed. Yes, Cycle World had a story on it, and photos of the engine internals – three little tiny pistons hanging out of the cases.

Thanks Much for the cool info!

He included a link that had these amazing photos and info:

This is a 1968 Suzuki 50cc Grand Prix Roadracer, the RP68, a 3-cylinder 50cc bike. They changed the rules, restricting the 50cc class to 1 cylinder, before it could race. (There were 5 cyl 125's and the like as well before the rule change.)

H2 Racebike.

Cool little Suzui Buzzbomb Racebike.

I don't have any extra info on this bike. I know that a major magazine (Cycle World maybe)did a story in this bike a few years back but I couldn't find anything. Anyone have any specifics on this beauty?

One Serious NSR500

Monoshocked H2 streetfighter. One tough looking triple...

This bike seems a bit familiar so it may be a repeat. But damm what a nice build.

Nice TZ action shot!

Kawasaki H2R

Fior 500. Radical Racebike with added Pipe Porn!

I've touched on this bike before. For more info check this out over on the always excellent Bike Exif.
