Dave, That is one trick scooter. Check out the frame with trick rear suspension and how fat are those rims?

Looks to me like a new bike with a set of GT750 engine cases stuffed in. Not much of the original GT in that bike.

Yeah , but it was so well done .. even with the upgrades they were done in great taste , it still has the vintage look .

Frame?

Post by krwalsh »

That frame has got to be completely custom. There isn't a tube that goes under the engine at all, meaning that they've used the engine as a stressed member. That is some seriously nice work. I especially like how they managed to make it look almost period, despite the mono-shock.

Nice!!! It's a feast for the eyes as I keep picking up details I missed at first... Are there any more pictures of this one? Where did you find this photo? All the modified GT750 photos that have been posted lately have me almost wanting a GT750. Heck I do have a GT750 engine Gordon gave at Mid-Ohio two years ago. That's almost all I'd need with this set-up....

I went back to the picture folder and its the only shot i have of this custom . I dont know if i would want a solid mounted GT750 engine for the street , i bet it would give ya a nice buzzz like the Kawasaki H2 does .

Wow! That is beautiful!

You gotta love those fat 17" spoked wheels. I like the kick starter block off. I should have asked Zooke to block off the kick starter on TMB.

Very well done. I like the retro yet modern look.
