Custom Bikes Of The Week: 11 February, 2018
Classic cafe elegance from England?s Sinroja, a cute Moto Guzzi mini bike from Spain, a slinky sprintbike from Belgium, and an electric Ducati Scrambler from Thailand. We?re collecting the air miles this week.
Moto Guzzi Pony Mini Bike by Kacerwagen At the Long Beach Motorcycle Show back in November, a group of industry insiders and veteran journalists convened to pitch ideas on how to attract new riders and reverse a declining trend in North America. Well, guess what folks" Chus Valencia, the man behind Kacerwagen, has the issue licked: start ?em young and start ?em with something rad.
The Pony Tracker was Chus? gift to his nephew Luca this Christmas?but getting this obscure 50cc Guzzi to its current state took some sweat equity. The Pony was a barn find, so it looked more like a rented mule when things started out. Everything was stripped and treated to a run at the sandblaster.
Once back to bare metal, the plan for a dirt tracker was cemented and work began on modifying the subframe. The twin outboard shocks were swapped for a cantilevered, mono shock setup as well. On top, the stock tank was sliced down its center and treated to a diet. The new shape suits the package to a T and we doubt Luca is too concerned about covering miles? yet.
To make tracks, the Pony needed a working motor. A two-stroke Morini S6 unit filled the void and delivers more than enough grunt to have Luca smiling behind his helmet. A custom tailpiece, seat and front cowl complete the look...
