Custom Bikes Of The Week: 9 June, 2019
A limited edition version of the beautiful Saroléa Manx7, a Honda FMX 650 built for the Scram Africa event, and a rare Maserati motorcycle from the 1950s. Plus a stunning Honda CB750 Bol d?Or from France.
Honda FMX 650 by De Angelis Elaborazioni Fuel Motorcycles’ annual Scram Africa tour is all about riding classic-style scramblers in North Africa. To partake, you need either a vintage scrambler, a modern classic scrambler, or a bike customized in the scrambler style. For Giorgio De Angelis at De Angelis Elaborazioni in Italy, this custom Honda FMX 650 was just the ticket.
The FMX was a thumping supermotard that Honda made in the mid 2000s, with the same 644 cc motor as the XR650L. That means it’s tough and reliable. Giorgio’s converted his FMX from motard to enduro, adding a host of juicy upgrades along the way.
The Honda now rolls on bigger Excel hoops, with Wilbers suspension propping it up. Giorgio’s added a race transmission from KK-Bike and an Accossato cluch lever, and the Honda scrambler also wears new fenders and a pair of Arrow mufflers.
Closer inspection reveals a swapped-out fuel tank, improved lighting, tough hand guards, and a luggage net and handlebar bag for practicality. A new seat and a minimalist livery add to the utilitarian appeal. Blasting this thumper across North African sand sounds like a good day out to us. [More]
