More European gems

Thanks to Pipeburn for spotting a Netherlands Co. called Aermacchi Racing, who sell stunning Aermacci kit replicas and parts. The frames are works of art (and I don't say that lightly - see comparison below):

Derbi Racer (not Japanese, Spanish..who cares?)

Thanks to the creative people at: http://lecontainer.blogspot.com/
Go have a look.

Honda 1954 R125 Racer


Don't know the heritage of this cool boy racer from the 50's - the frame and tank look vaguely Ducati scrambler. (It would be a great template for one of the Honda 50 Solo's below).




Japan only Honda 50 Solo

If ever there was a reason to get a grey import, this is it.. theselittle gems are deadringers for the old 50's Zundapps / bantams, and are very modifiable.
