This is a custom motorcycle made to resemble a BSA Bantam, or triumph lightweight twin motorcycle from the 1930-1940 era using a reliable, fuel efficient honda twinstar cm200t as the basis for a fun little bike that looks almost 80 years old, but starts on the first kick or push of the electric starter. solid state ignition means no points to adjust, legendary honda reliability and easy, inexpensive repair and maintenence parts keeps you on the road. this bike was built to draw looks, but be available at a moments notice for an impromptu ride. i styled this bike along the lines of early velocette KTT KSS race bikes in respect to stance, lines and where the accessory pouches and saddlery were placed. the finish was aged using the same artistic techniques that create $10,000 custom electric guitars in the 'relic' style: i cut my teeth making vintage guitars and amplifiers, as well as aging new ones to look 50 years old and have that comfortable 'broken in' feel like a nice pair of used levi jeans. aged lacquer paint and finishing techniques used in fine furniture and artwork restoration were used throughout to give the bike a winning patina that says "nicely kept, regularly ridden, original barn find bike that has been brought back to life" the pedestrian slicer license is a belfast/co armagh prefix from northern ireland. the vincent tail light and number plate on the rear match. you will have to place your state license plate over it to be road legal. take a look for yourself at all of the custom details on this great little bike. it was shown at the Oregon Vintage Motorcycle show in Salem Oregon a few months ago, and it drew a lot of attention at its unveiling in the Vintage Japanese category. be prepared if you buy this bike to answer a million questions about how old it is, what is it? currently the bike is in storage/display/musem state, and will need to have fluids checked/changed/topped up to bring back into service. it is on a hidden ballistic battery maintained on a trickle charger, and will always kick or push start. the fuel in the tank has been treated with stabilizer to negate ethanol degradation of the fuel system components during storage period. we are happy to deliver the bike to you in the portland oregon metro area for free. delivery in the PNW is possible by us for an additional fuel/delievery fee. outside oregon/washington i would suggest using uship.com for a private haulage contractor. we have successfully shipped a BMW r71 replica across country using them and would recommend them. international shipping is possible, at buyers arrangement. drop of is possible to port of portland, PDX airport, or port of seattle for surface.
