There are custom motorcycle builders out there who can help bringing back the good ole times by (re-)contructing those dream bikes. One of them (unfortunately located in London, England) is a shop called Spirit of the Seventies.
Beautiful: Kawa Street Tracker by Spirit of the Seventies
Breathtaking: Triumph Street Scrambler by Spirit of the Seventies
It is no surprise either that I was attracted to the timeless design of the Harley Davidson Sportster. What is possible with an 883 at hand, and a desire for Scrambler/Tracker motorcycles? Budget aside, there is an answer to everything.
Roland Sands' Hurley Scrambler
JDM Bull Dirt Style
I wonder what the price tag would be on customizing my Sportster scrambler-style...
I'm with you Sonja, they just have a look that I love. I dont exactly know what it is that I love but it's the style of all the bikes you've picked here.
ReplyDeleteWould you really do that to Rover though, I think he looks pretty awsome too, is that a new pic of him in the sidebar with new highwaybars?
Thanks, Brenda. Rover looks quite handsome, the way he looks today. And for now that's all I need. But with days like yesterday, rain pouring all day long I got sidetracked ;-)
DeleteSome nice modern(ish) classics there Sonja. I've seen some lovely examples of the SR500 converted to cafe racers. Maybe a relatively inexpensive project?
ReplyDeleteThe SR 500 would have been the perfect little project bike back in Europe, alas in North America, not many around. Not sure that they were ever sold in Canada...
DeleteI was only a young kid in the 70's but I will agree with you. There is something about a classic design. I think that simplicity is why I'm drawn towards the Triumphs.
ReplyDeleteSame here but I agree, it is the simple but elegant line that works for me. Even Japanese bikes looked good back in the days.
