W650 hi performance custom

W650 is classical look but above W650 is modified so cool.
I can not imagine how fast it runs.
Carburetor,muffler,swing arm,wheels etc. are changed to other motorcycle's parts.
Blue color on crankcase cover is eye catch with Belringer brake caliper.

On W650 after market,several displacement up kit are found in Japan,
from W650 to W750. from W650 to W800.
You do not need to buy new W800 if you got those parts from Japan.

Me? I will get a used W400 someday
and make it low down W400.

1990 R100RS

Front fairing is replaced with aftermarket fairing.
Its height looks OK to protect wind.
Seat is also replaced with K&H single seat for YAMAHA SR400/SR500.
Those aftermarket fairing and single seat mach this black 1990 R100RS.  

As compared with MOTOCO seat,K&H seat is not perfect.
Because it was developed for SR not for R100RS,
bottom line surrounding seat is floating slightly from seat frame.

Honda fan of USA can get CB1100 from this year.
Almost people ride without modification as it is brand new bike.
Developing fuel tank seems difficult due to tank contains fuel pump and other small parts in it.
But enthusiastic shops developed some unique parts.
Above CB1100 is magazine "Motorcyclist" project bike.
You can buy this swellfish shape tank from Motorcyclist web-shop.

CB1100 is aluminum wheels so looks modern.
I wish to change to spoke wheels.
You can get spoke wheels from some shop now.
I will introduce spoke wheels shortly.

Every time I admire Ritmo's works when I see Nakajima's blog..
This R100RS has been full restored step by step to fit owner's usage.
Carburetor were replaced. 
Stock carburetor is vacuum carburetor so we feel mild power of engine.
When you use airhead at circuit,they replaced with sliding carburetor like FCR carburetor.
You will be surprised with its quick response than stock carburetor.
Quick means sensitive to throttle work. That is good to circuit use.
But normal long touring,I do not recommend such sensitive FCR carburetor.   

Meanwhile, I like this grey color,which looks like US force jet planes.
What color does this come from?  from Vintage BMW?

As you know BOTTPOWER released a bone for Buell XB V-Twin engine.
I own XB9S,which could be a donor.
But it is hard to register in Japan if I built it by myself.

To register motorcycle must be complete when imported.

Meanwhile,is this bone able to assemble single BLAST engine? 

Note: If you own XB V-twin engine, It will cost a lot.

This 1987 SDR200 was 2 stroke engine.
So Displacement 200cc was good enough for street.
This bike looks quite different from racer replica TZR250.
It is worth collection.

 I have got a used HONDA VT250 SPADA as my collection.
Condition ?  Not bad for its age.
But it needs restoration.

Aluminium frame was getting popular not only race scene in '80.
NT650 Hawk GT was same generation and you can see similarity on SPADA.

I will collect NT650 Hawk in future as well.

It is hard to make a cool K100RS cafe racer.
Because original K100RS was perfectly designed by BMW at that era.
In line four engine gave more power and speed than flat twin engine.
But it was heavy due to flying big block engine.
I think weight lighter K75 triple engine more controllable than K100RS.

This K100RS is equipped with universal fairing and racing rear seat pan.
And repainted tank is showing its aluminium skin on both sides. How cool.
How do you think?  I like it!
