In other words, this little gem is our work horse! It is used as the original intention of the SR250: a fun to drive commuter.

Well… we have a project on the grid. It’s getting a form from fluidness to solid state and we’re preparing for the winter build: cold days means more time to work on the project resulting in our next secret:

She’s slim, sexy and single!

Here’s a teaser for the fans:

When we build something, we do it good. A reliable ’79 CB 750 rolled in our workshop and was transformed into a superbike named worthy Freddie Spencer inspired classic.

When building the project, we maintained three golden rules:

  • the handling had to be excellent, up to par with a modern bike;
  • the original look of the motorcycle had to be maintained, including color scheme, the typical muscle bike look and last but not least;
  • you actually must be able to ride it, hard!

So, this is what it became:

We’ll be releasing more info on the project the upcoming week, but here are some specifications to start with:

  • CB 750 ’79 engine and frame
  • CB 900 F Bol d’or ‘Pearl White’ bodywork
  • 17″ wheels for sporty modern tyres
  • Double 310 mm discs with 4-piston Nissin calipers and steel brake hoses
  • K&N filters, fully adjusted carbs
  • Marshall 4-1 exhaust
  • Alloy handlebar (gun metal)
  • Fournales rear shocks
  • Front fork with MUPO cartridge kit
  • Digital dashboard with leds, shift light

And yes, it does handle like a dream!!!
