I wonder what was the inspiration? Marvin Martians helmet? That headlight sure makes me think.

If it is supercharged, why doesn't it have the take off gear for the belt on the alternator side?

Sorry, if it is anything, it is a turbo ....

That's what I thought. So that pipe really does circle all the way around so it can burn your left leg off.

Lucky Bastard

I wanted to build an extreme minimalistic bike. I noticed the Suzuki LS650 because of the large capacity of the single cylinder engine. And when she is stripped of a lot of parts she looks already quite nice; a good base to start from.
By the end of the build I thought, I will enter this project for a bike show. To make a long story short, I had a fantastic time at the Bigtwin Bike Show in November 2007 where I won first prize in the Custom Class!

Engine: Suzuki LS650 Savage, 1 cylinder 652cc, 5 speed
Completely overhauled by Rno Cycles, painted and polished

Carburetor: Mikuni, with K&N filter
Exhaust: Stainless steel by Rno Cycles

Frame: Suzuki LS650, modified by Rno Cycles.
Swing arm: Stainless Steel by Rno Cycles
Front fork: Suzuki LS650 overhauled by Rno Cycles
Yokes by Rno Cycles (6° raked)

Front wheel: Honda CBR900RR 16in
Tyre: Bridgestone Battlax BT014 130/70
Rear wheel: Honda CBR900RR 17in
Tyre: Bridgestone Battlax BT014 180/55.

Brakes: Front caliper; Nissin (Honda CBR900RR), Rear caliper; Brembo
Hoses; Goodridge stainless steel

Tank: Stainless steel by Rno Cycles (1 half tank, other half houses electrics)

Various: Seat, Handlebar, Footpegs, Battery box, Sidemount by Rno Cycles.

And countless "One-Off" stainless steel handcrafted parts.
This fusion bike has a handshifter with a clutch lever attached to it.
