Now this is a bike...

This is one of the Nicest Restomods I've ever seen available for sale.

If it was legal to import, I would have no issue dropping $6K to own this rolling piece of art and bring it in from Japan...

RS125 USD forks, Galespeeds, Kitaco DOHC 145, Brembos, Yosh, the list is endless. This is a bike I could be proud of owning..

Re: Now this is a bike...

While the guru's are looking at this combination, can someone lay out the closest US frame to this? Is this really just an xr75 or older xr80 frame? If that is the case, you can get the xr75 titled for street really easy.

I really like the look of that bike. I like the idea of a 200cc twin in there instead, but the rest is awesome.

Talk to the PM member Pierce. He has a Honda ape and he modded a CRF100 frame to take the ape pieces so he could get it titled. I'd start and modify the CRF100 frame so you could use a monoshock.

XR75 is a great donor bike as well, but you'll want to run the XR75 tank and seat, but can install the CRF100 or 200 cc engine in there as well.

Get a pre 1976 XR75 frame.

The bike in my original post would cost well over $12K to build with those high-end components and the RS125 fork legs aren't cheap.

Sure you can. Sell all of your bikes and build 1 uber high-end built with top-shelf parts. You are in the same situation as me and if you added up all the parts and bikes you have, you could buy a nice car...

Re: Now this is a bike...

I'm in the same boat. I need to focus on one thing and hold on all the others. Heck, now I've got builds from the past I thought I was done with popping back into focus and taking up more time.

Anyway... very cool bike. Other than a few little things here and there style wise the only thing I'd do different would be a crf150 engine.
