We’ve featured the gloriously heretical work of Super Rat Motorcycles in the past and so it was with great interest that I learned they’d built a new motorcycle, doubly so when I was told it was a Triumph Trident cafe racer.
The Norton F1 was a Wankel rotary powered road bike built by Norton Motorcycles between 1989 and 1991. It had an engine capacity of 588cc, race spec suspension, an aluminium alloy frame, a hydraulically operated clutch, 5 speed transmission and front/rear disc brakes.
Okay so without a doubt, this is the single greatest hill climbing photograph I’ve ever seen.
This stunning Honda CB750 cafe racer is the result of a collaboration between Dime City Cycles and Iron & Air Magazine, it was presented to the public for the first time at the The Barber Vintage Festival last week.
Today we’re bringing you a special 10 part feature in collaboration with eBay Motors, they asked us to join other influential websites like Gear Patrol and Hooniverse in producing a Top 10 list of the best stuff we could find on eBay over a 1 week period.
I’d love to know the backstory here though I doubt anyone can shed light on it due to the age of the photograph. It appears to be a chap hammering along on a beautiful AJS with a large bunch of flowers tied to the speedometer.
This Kawasaki KZ750B street tracker is the latest creation from the talented team at 76Hundred, it’s based on a 1979 model with the standard parallel twin, 745cc OHC air-cooled engine producing 55hp.
The Hell On Wheels Moto Rally is exactly the sort of thing that I (and you too if you’re a regular Silodrome reader) would absolutely love to take part in. It’s essentially a “run what ya brung” motocross event with BBQ, country music, beer and bikes.
This retrotastic Harley Ironhead flat-tracker just popped up for sale on the official W1910 store based in France, it’s a 1975 model that’s seen some significant modifications from it’s racetrack-only beginnings.
The boardtrack racers of the early 20th century were some of the ballsiest men ever to grace the world with their presence. Their motorcycles had no brakes and very little suspension.
The Sportsman Flyer is a modern take on the classic boardtracker motorcycle genre, the Flyers are beautifully designed from front to back and powered by a hard working two-stroke engine.
The Harley Sportster is one of my favourite motorcycles, people are sometimes surprised to hear that but the humble Sportster really is fantastic.
