For the second post of the day, I felt like I needed to see something a normal human being could afford.
These are three examples of kits from Ryca Motors built for the Suzuki S40.
Let’s take a minute to get past the fact that this is a 650cc motorcycle.
(Breathe deeply. In. Out. In. Out.)
Ok, now that we’re all calm, let’s remember that not too long ago a 650cc bike would rip your face off. In what I’ll refer to as the “golden era” of motorcycling (the 1960s), a 650 was among the larger displacement options available. Also, these bikes are bomb proof. Air cooled, chain drive, fix-it-with-a-hammer bombproof.
Enough justification! Just look at these damn things! Suzuki S40s are cheap. Real cheap. These kits are cheap as a sumbitch also. So you get a great looking, cheap bike that any monkey with some wrenches can build in a week. You might not be able to do 120 on the freeway but you can’t have it all, dude.
Thanks to the dudes at Ryca Motors for opening up the world of custom bikes to people that either couldn’t normally afford it, or have no idea what a press brake or an english wheel are.
