scroll down, on bottom of the page you can find my motaRD

Alex- your (semi) motaRD is one of the coolest bikes I've ever seen.

Your fabrication style is beautiful, and the bike is so very clean in it's layout. I would LOVE to own this fantastic bike!!

I remember seeing your bike, must have been a couple years now, not sure when it was built but it is cool, liked it alot. I liked the rear wheel/swingarm set up together with the MX bodywork.

First test was on dec, 2002
but idea, drawing and first part build are more more older

It definately looks like a TZR or TDR 250 motor, case reed. Honda frame possibly?

Kazz · #51 Post by **Kazz** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 4:49 pm

I looked a little closer and now see that it is a TZR250, You can make the frame out up by the steering head.

looking at it even closer I would say it has a YZ swingarm. I must say that is a great idea, taking the frame/motor and turning it into a motard, same but different like Roland Sands and his MX bike roadracers, (supersingles) dirtbike frame/swingarm and roadrace forks/wheels and clipons. Pretty slick, kinda makes me want to rethink my project. Everything fits a little better by the look of it.

@ax-racing

This other "motard" belongs to a guy called Schorschi, who is a user of the german rd-forum.

HereÂ´s the link:

thanks lc-2gu

very intersting project
unfortunately i can't read any word in german language
but the bike looks fun and well constructed.

but i think that is another bike, different to the one on my link
because one have a TZR250 aluminium frame
the other one have an RZ modified one.

beautiful bike
there are more motard-RD/RZ that I think to be

Strange that bodywork, number, graphics, front and rear end
seems the same on two bikes

only differeces may be frame, engine and chambers

same maker, two stage of evolution of same project ?

I think this thread needs some motivation. Here's something similar I found:

Okay, I'm juiced up!
That bike sounds quite nasty.

Did anyone see a radiator? Is there one on the front, behind the pipes?

Is that an RZ engine in that thing? Sounds great. Too bad I'm building a house. I'd open up the checkbook and start building me another bike. I gotta stay off this site on Friday nights with a beer in my hand.

cheers,
Brian

An RZ or a banshee. Not exactly sure. There's more vids at the other site I browse:
