Dell-Sara custom shop

Japanese custom shops that specialize in Yamaha SR's are about as rare as pencils, but this one has some interesting hop-ups, and a clean style that I like. Here's the link to their site: http://www.dell-sara1995.com/menu.html

Interesting Honda magazines available on Amazon Japan

Heiwa magic - Suzuki Volty 250 & Honda FTR223

Japanese Custom House 'Heiwa' have a deft touch with producing small capacity custom bobbers (as well as some brilliant Triumph engined digger / choppers). Their link is on the right.

CCM and the classic British scrambler

CCM was one of those small custom bike builers in England that faded away until resurrected in 2004. They have several new models, all with that distinctive chrome tank and classic British style. The motor is from the Suzuki DRZ400.
Thanks to Raptors and Rockets for the info.

More Yokohama customs - Dragster style

A couple of smaller cc dragster style bikes - the small tanks look good, and it's great to see a bit of 'coffin tank' style creeping in as well -

"Stupid Crown" Honda C92

A neat Honda C92 restoration in a street scrambler style from the folk at the wonderfully named Japanese custom shop STUPID CROWN. See more here: http://www.stupidcrown.com/

Yokohama Japan Custom Show, Honda & Yamaha small cc

Love these images from the Yokohama Hot Rod & Custom Show, care of Tokyo Scooter Stuff's flickr site.

Roberto Totti Honda Custom Hand Built 250-4

Powered by a 1995 Honda 250RR, frame & bodywork all built by hand, and apparently based on the old RC181 Vintage Racer (hence the disc brakes?). The 19K logo on the side is because the motor revs to 19000rpm and puts out 56bhp!! Perhaps the disc brakes weren't such a good idea after all.......Roberto is an enthusiastic customiser & designer, and you can see more at http://www.tottimori.com/

Special thanks to http://Ottonero.blogspot.com for this and hours of timewasting goodness :-)

Honda SS50 Racer

Even grey cats can be 'boy racers' (man, is this where i'm heading ? guess it could be worse....beats riding Hardleys to the cafe & back).

Big thanks to the wonderful http://chalopy.blogspot.com

Suzuki AS50, another late 60's gem

The Suzuki A series ran from the mid 60's to 1969, and came in 50cc & 90cc (and the sexy 'Stinger' T series 125cc). Grab 'em while they're cheap.................

Honda SS50 & CL50 scrambler

The SS 50 & CL 50 blurred the lines between moped and motorbike, and in 1971 were the last of the "T" shape pressed steel frames (along with the Suzuki AS50 - A90 and the larger capacity Kawasaki G1 & G2's)
