Triumph's Scrambler is a really nice looking bike but exciting isn't the first thing you would say if someone asked about performance. It seems Bill Himmelsbach from EuroSports in Philadelphia thought the same thing and figured he would see if a bit of the old character from the Steve McQueen era was hiding inside. Not too surprisingly, it is. While flipping through the … [Read more...]
Norton Kawasaki 2 Stroke Cafe Racer – Norasaki
After my review a few weeks ago of Cafe Racer: the Motorcycle, Kim Scholer, one of our regulars, sent along this photo of a featherbed framed Kawasaki triple. The featherbed frame has seen a lot of engine transplants, singles, twins of all types and Triumph triples, among others, but I can't recall ever seeing a Kawasaki 2 stroke triple.

Warbird 191 Cubic Inch Continental Radial V-Twin
Ian Douglas sent me a note and thought we might like to see his answer to the Gunbus 410. No, it's not built to the outsized proportions of that monster but the engine is based on cylinders and heads from a Continental radial engine. This isn't one of those little Rotec radials used by Jesse James or JRL Cycles, these pieces are from a full size aero engine. The 2 cylinders, … [Read more...]
