Identify this bike
« on: October 02, 2016, 11:05:17 AM »
 This motorcycle was converted into a café racer by whomever owns it here in our condo building.   The tank has some interesting lines on it, where clearly some plastic faring work used to exist, and the owner used black plexiglass or something.   Maybe it's black metal, I didn't touch it.

I'm thinking it's a Yamaha of some kind, but I don't really know.

Kawasaki EX500 of indeterminate vintage.

+1 to some sort of Kaw.  Lots of similar parts to my Concours.  And my other Concours.

Never knew there was such a thing.

Thanks for solving this mystery!

It looks like they did a neat job.
My wife used to own one, with fairing. Not much power but fun to ride the twisties.

I watched half the blue collar bobber videos. Wow!  Great step by step. Looks like a well thought out & quality kit. If I just had the time, space and $!

Heard of this lot on the defunct TU250Riders forum. Neat kit for the little TUX: http://bluecollarbobbers.com/suzuki-tu250x
