Matsumaru W650's A custom favourite

Yokohama Custom regulars MATSUMARU (see links column on right) are a great custom house in Fukuoka-City Japan, and make great hop up parts & stuff. Here's a couple of nice new versions of the custom makers perennial, the Kawa W650.

Little Vintage Japanese Models in Cigarette Box form

Don't know anything about these models other that they must be quite old (who last made a Greeves model, for heavens sake!) Anyone know about them ?

High Sense Deformed Model - Bandai in the 80's

Bandai Model Makers put out these 'deformed' models in the 80's along with more accurately scaled kits featuring DAKAR & Off Road bikes - very collectable now.

CB360 - the Post post Classic

love the DEUS knockoff logo...... !
Helloooooo .. ..

The CB360 lived in the shadow of the earlier CB350 giant killer (also isn't eligible for classic/post classic racing) and was only make for a couple of years, but people are realising what a safe (discs) and stylish lightweight alternative it is for the road.

Suzuki TXR 150 - The Malaysian Pocket Rocket

Not a lot 0f info about these little 2-strokes outside Malaysia / Singapore, but they are much loved street racers, not unlike the 250cc 2 strokes we had in Australia before the laws were changed (oh, for an RG250 as a youth) .

Honda SL-100 - Ready for the "Marty Tripes 100"

My first bike was an SL-70, not big on speed, but so much torque I once dragged a 20" Dia. felled tree up a paddock hill (helping mum do a bit of landscaping age 10). Cool. The SL100 was like a superbike to me, until a friends older brother showed up on a shiny new XL125.....

CYCLE WARRIORS ! Namco coin-op 1991

Another retro Namco crazy biker game - this one's a bit more Judge Dredd than Ultraman

Yamaha LS2 100cc Twin Tracker by Dave Miller

This wild tracker has an evil 100cc's of power, nickel finished frame and custom made everything. It was built by Dave Miller for a client - He's been involved in MX since the late 70's and makes jaw-dropping Vintage track bikes - check out his page:http://www.davemillerconcepts.com/index.php

MORIWAKI in the shadow of Yoshimura

Moriwaki was behind some great names in racing like Gardiner and Phillis, and still manufacturing & racing today in Moto2 class and others. Always very exotic to my 70's eye.

Little Cafe Racers from 1977 - RG50 & GR50

While we tend to fawn over the jewel like European 50cc bikes, small Japanese models still seem like the junk we left behind in our youth... these 2 models have very distinct 70's cafe styling about them, and are tres cool.

Yamaha XS650 flattracker and bobber on ebay

A couple of very nice Yammy XS650's have been popping up on eBay, and selling quite cheaply for the marvellous amount of work that's gone into them. The crazy SR500 sidecar at the bottom has been going off - 22 bids so far - heres the link if you like a challenge:
