in november 2005 when i just bought the bmw, i went to spain. almeria.

went to the circuit overthere for a week. was very nice.

before i build the bmw, i did 50cc bikeracing together with my dad. i did it for 7 years. when we did that we learned a lot about changing things.

we raced with a zundapp.




when we stopped, i started build a suzuki rgv 250 with a suzuki dr 800 engine in it.
also magnesium rims, kawasaki zx-6r fork with radial calipers, and loads of other things.

was a fun project and i still have it. sides insane on small roads, but the highway sucks...




and last year when i was building the bmw and couldn´t ride it i had a changed Honda cb400f from 1977.
put a cagiva mito fork in it and made a rearfork. and the magnesium rims from the suzrgv800.

had some great time with it.....it wasn´t fast.....160km/h....but in corners i past the big bikes like r1 and gsxr1000´s on in and outside....hahaha.
in a straiht line it the flew past me.

oke, thats it for now.

plans for this summer: ride it.

maybe put a supercharger on it in the winter........


if you guys have guestions, just ask them.

greatings, kees.

Nice job.
I see that you got rid of the airbox and fitted cone filters, did you fit a new chip and set it up on a dyno?

Bloody amazing mate, well done, personally I like my 1100s standard looking but I bow to your excellent fabrication skills, wish I could do stuff like that, top work

there´s already an other chip in it, but i have to go on the dyno. i want to put a Rapid Bike on, sow it can be optimalized.

Thanks for sharing the pictures Kees. Some really skilled work there. Particularly liked the 400/4 which has got me thinking as I have a blue 76 sitting in the shed doing nothing. If I had half the skill I'd have a go at doing something with it.

Cheers

Kees, I enjoyed the pictures very much. Your boxer is very distinctive. Good work.

M-o-M

hej scotty,

you don´t need my skills to make something nice of youre 400/4. just build it the way you like it.
its even more awesome if you can change youre bike with very few tools.


just give it a try.
