Not a typo... A KLR 650 Cafe Racer...

Totally Sick! RZ500/R6 Hybrid. Too good not to share. Cross-post From The 2-Stroke Board.
You hear about bikes like this in lots of conversations.... "wouldn't it be cool to put engine X in chassis Y".. Well someone REALLY did it. More on the project over on BARF
"Current generation Yamaha R6 chassis with Ohlins forks and shock, Brembo brakes, forged wheels, and aluminum subframe. Engine swap with Yamaha RD500 (aka RZ500 aka RZv500) V4 twin-crank two-stroke. Handmade expansion chambers with carbon fiber silencers. Mikuni flatslide carbs."

Reader Submittal. Custom built Indian "Chout"
Buck Pinkerton sends in this really cool old Indian! I would love to own something like this. Damm near one of a kind! Thanks!
Hi,
This is a friend's Indian Chout. It was built by her father before she was born, ostensibly a 1929 Scout frame holding a 1940 Bonneville Chief engine that he just happened to find in a crate at the southwest airbase where he was stationed. The forks look to be latter day chief. Some time in the 1980s the bike passed through the hands of a "restorer" who added the H-D front fender and odd looking instrument pod. At least he painted it right and stayed out of the engine. The bike is back in the family now, and from stories I've been told it was one fast machine.
Ride safe,
Buck Pilkenton

DEVIANTE! An S4RS built into a dirt bike by Terra Mostro
Terra Mostro builds bikes like these with 695 Monsters. this guy wanted a bit more power so he had them build this thing. I imagine he succeeded!
Stock specs on and SR4S:
Horsepower: 117.0 @ 9750 rpm
Torque: 68.2 lb.-ft. @ 7500 rpm
Corrected 1/4-mile: 10.71 sec. @ 126.57 mph 0-60 mph 3.12 sec.
Top-gear roll-on: 3.32 sec.
Only one in existence and it's for sale over on Adventure Rider for just shy of $20K. And probably worth it!

Shoutout to all the links...
I received a request to take a look at a newer Italian blog called "Remastered Cycle" today (they're excellent by the way and now in the blog links) and I thought this would be a good time shine some light on all the sites over on the list. There must be something in the fall air because folks have been blogging up a storm lately. Take some time and click around over there. Plenty to see.
... and here's a shot of an cool bike from the latest addition. Interesting stuff all over the place.

Update: Reader Submittal. Old school Hybrid.
Update: should have seen this coming... for those of you e-mailng and commenting for more info...
The bike is for sale on EBAY UK Here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-XT500-SUPERMOTO-PHASE-4-MAGAZINE-FEATURE-BIKE-/110613754451?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item19c117f253
What a fantastic bike! Thanks to Cal from the UK for sending me these. I've seen a few like these over the years and this is the best by far! I love it when an old iconic bike gets modernized without the spirit of the original being overwhelmed by the new components. It's a delicate dance and flawlessly executed here.
