Looks like a Tiger Rocketboy frame, but I'm not sure what motor that is... Looks like a pretty clean install/fit. I'm sure one of you can identify the motor....

Dus de foto's die er zijn mogen uiteraard nu geplaatst worden en ik zal de fiets meenemen naar Vise voor zover hij af is.
Ik vrees dat hij dan nog niet helemaal af is want het is toch wel een berg werk om dat ding helemaal af te bouwen, mja ik heb gekozen voor totaal eigenbouw dus ik moet dan ook echt alle onderdelen met de hand maken.
Ontsteking zit idd op het tandwiel van de uitlaat nokkenas en een vliegwiel kan eventueel nog gemonteerd worden, maar staat niet in de planning.
Motorblok is 137 cc, DOHC 4 kleps met onderdelen van een Yamaha FZR400RR, distributie is met een riem evenals de aandrijving naar het achterwiel. Velgen zijn van een scooter en zijn 13" Onsteking is eigen ontwerp evenals de sturing door de pickup.
De hele motor is eigenlijk eigenbouw of onderdelen die vergaand zijn aangepast, ook tank en zitje zijn niet standaard.
Zoals gezegd probeer ik er te zijn op Vise en dan kunnen jullie zelf kijken.
groeten,
Thomas

Freely translated:
Engine displacement is 137cc.
4-valve head is cut/modified from a yamaha FZR400RR four inline engine.
Ignition is timed from the sprocket of the exhaust camshaft.
The engine has no flywheel, but it is possible to mount one.
The bike is running on 13" scooter rims

Build target from the owner/builder is to get the bike (almost)ready for the Visé(Belgium) meeting last weekend of july.

Wow,
that was quick, thanks for the details! Hmmm wonder what all those word you didn't translate were..... "You foolish gun carrying American, don't you know a yamaha motor when you see one?" ha ha, just messing with you. Like most Americans, I speak 5 languages (including whatever language that was), so I could have translated the post myself...: )

The original language is dutch

That frame is a thing of beauty.

gstegman · 06-11-2009, 10:21 AM

Looks very cool but do they have enough rake in the front end? The angle of the forks looks a little funky to my untrained eye.

50-STUNT · 06-11-2009, 10:22 AM

that thing is bad a$$!

50-50 · 06-11-2009, 10:38 AM

Now that's sweet. Looks like a ton of fun.

50-STUNT · 06-11-2009, 10:52 AM

I second that. Every weld I could see in those pictures looks questionable at best. Right idea, wrong fabricator.
