I wish I knew more myself, the owner (who I assume is also the builder) didn't speak very much english, but he said it's an 80's GS, not sure which one, but the engine looks like the R80. Swingarm looks more modern though, maybe a R100? Looking at the rest I'd say it's fair to assume that it's all bits and pieces from quite a few different bikes... Front end looks like a Suzuki DR400SM for example.
I’d love to know more about that BMW motard. What motor is that? Any idea who built it?

ReplyDeleteIt's a very inspiring build. The rat rod look isn't my style, but I'd love to build something like this but with a more polished Ritmo style look.

Maybe.
I love this. There are details that lifts the bike from the rat bike, to à decent level. Keep posting more like this!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
