Reader Ride. Some Sweet Suzuki SRAD Fighter Action

Joe Dunderdale sent in this great Streetfighter build.

He writes:
I thought I'd send you a few pictures of my bike.
Its a 1998 GSXR 750 SRAD Street fighter, a modern interpretation of the Cafe Racer and in my opinion by definition a bike that is lighter and kicks out more power than its stock counterpart.


Specs:
1998 GSXR 750 SRAD FRAME
2001 GSXR 1000 ENGINE, HARNESS, CLOCKS, FUEL PUMP RETROFITTED IN THE 98 TANK.
LASER CUT SUBFRAME, ENGINE MOUNTS,
YOSHIMURA TRS SHORTENED TO 300 MM
KX MOTORCROSS BARS, CUSTOM BAR MOUNTS


147 HP 60LBS LIGHTER THAN THE 2001 GSXR 1000

That is freaking awesome! I love the raw metal look.  Thanks for the pic!

Reaader Ride with "Bonus Triumph Pics.

Aaron sent me a nice silhouette shot of his stable the other day along with a link to his flickr stream.  While perusing his photos I stumbled across this stunner of a custom Triumph Scrambler.  WOW!  Aaron I hope you don't mind (and if you do I'll pull them immediately) but I'm a huge Triumph fan and couldn't pass these up. 

By the way your original submital is excellent and included below. I'd love to see more angles of the Duck and especially Beemer.

Thanks Very Much

Aarons original note:
Hey!
I got a bit inspired on Sunday and had some fun with my DSLR and Photoshop; I ended up with what I think is a very good photo of my two bikes ('75 BMW R75/6 and '06 Ducati Multistrada 1000s) that you and your readers might like. The original is attached, and other sizes are at my flicker acct (under a Creative Commons license, so feel free to use what you like), here:
Cheers!

Here's the shanghaied Triumph...

And the original submittable.  Excellent Shot!

Reader Ride. BADASS DR650 Streetfighter / Motard.

Mike Sternick writes in:
Good Morning,
Its a 2003 Suzuki DR650 with a few mods and it gos like stink!
Cheers!

Later he updated me with some build details:

Hey Steve,               

Thanks for your comments.Like you said great handling bike just cluttered and a little ugly.The rear rim is a stock 17" the front I changed to 18" it balanced the profile and lowered it an inch.The front and rear suspension were lowered 3" and still has 7" of travel.I cut about 12" off the back frame and welded a new hoop.Seat pan is stock with new foam.The tank is off an old Harley and mounted like the factory. The exhaust, side panels and head light bracket are all one off made by me.The oil cooler I remounted off the front of the frame.All the old tabs were cut and ground off to clean up the frame.The stance of the bike came out perfect and I can still lower it an inch front or rear. The motor is stock except for the pipe,jet kit and K&N filter.Tires are Scorpion A/Ts.The bike is for sale so I can start a new project over the winter.

I'm not interested in becoming a for sale site but if anyone's interested I'll get you Mike's Contact info. I think it great and I'd seriously consider buying it myself but I've alead got a DR650 (much more stock) that I'm modding.

2-Stroke Suzuki GT750 Custom Streetfighter Porn...

Damm. Words escape me...

For hose of you who just HAVE to keep going this winter...

According To The Rumor Mill, Norton is going Racing!

...and not on a small scale either. They're talking MotoGP. Is it possible that the new Rotary has been developed to the point that it could compete in GP? Will the rules even allow for a rotary bike? If not GP can it race in WSB? This should be interesting. Turn up the volume LOUD!

Here are some vids of the new Rotax powered racebike being developed....



And of the original early 90's F1 Rotax bikes warming up.. "Filmed at Bob Mac memorial race meeting at East Fortune on 14/6/09"

An XS 650 YZ Hybrid.

I absolutely love this bike. Like a DR650 only with even more torque!!

DEVIANTE! An S4RS built into a dirt bike by Terra Mostro

Terra Mostro builds bikes like these with 695 Monsters. this guy wanted a bit more power so he had them build this thing. I imagine he succeeded!

Stock specs on and SR4S:
Horsepower: 117.0 @ 9750 rpm
Torque: 68.2 lb.-ft. @ 7500 rpm
Corrected 1/4-mile: 10.71 sec. @ 126.57 mph 0-60 mph 3.12 sec.
Top-gear roll-on: 3.32 sec.

Only one in existence and it's for sale over on Adventure Rider for just shy of $20K. And probably worth it!
