LAZARETH MOTO WORKS

Ok, I don't really know if the company goes by 'Lazareth Moto Works'. The bad part of this whole thing... The company is french (barf)... but they do use a beatles tune on this video....

So.... you have an extra $50,000 laying around for a street going quad... yeah, I'd buy one of these....






Here's another video of basically the same thing...

LAZARETH QUAD (Same as below but longer clip)

LAZARETH ATV

Lazareth Quad... a road going 4 wheeled ATV.... thats absolutely stunning

YOSHIMURA

Yes, again I've been neglecting the blogs.... to which I say, "shut up".

So....

If you know sport and racing motorcycles at all, even a little bit, the name Yoshimura is one that resonates "fast, cool, and been around forever".

Pops Yoshimura.... he did more work with Suzuki's, but theres definitely a fingerprint of his on many other bikes... Hondas, Kawasakis.... If it had two wheels, was meant to go around corners very very quickly, Pops probably worked or modified one.


Pops Yoshimura

You think of Yoshimura in the past 30 years, and a Yosh prepped GSX-R comes to mind

Or a GS.... (with the 34 number plate on there, one has to wonder if this wasn't one of Schwantz's first Yosh bikes)


I believe this is an early Pop's bike... when he was working for Honda... I think



Another GSX-R




This is the style of bike I think of, when I think of Yoshimura


Another GS.... can bet it was very fast, and very difficult to ride


This is suppose to be Yosh prepped Kawasaki....



Another very early Yosh prepped bike

RD Day

RD's, RD's, and RD's

Would love to have another one of these, knowing what I know now..... about 2 strokes, and about riding.... would be wickedly fun



Now looking at this photo again, that almost looks like a RAM Air duct on the heads, making that a Dayton RD.... hard to tell...


Definitely ALOT of work put into this... is suppose to be a RD400 engine in there, somewhere

Don't know what kinda look I'd call this.... but I like it


Yes.... most definitely YES



This looks like a volatile little monster :-)


Definitely not gonna be on the street... at least not legally


Now this might be a case of taking the RD passion a bit far....



Exactly how my first one looked, right off the Honalulu Yamaha showroom floor




This just has a nice look to it...




Same for this one...



This looks extremely familiar, but can't think of whose.... is definitely Willow, so could have definitely seen it

(quack quack) DUC DAY

Yeah, didn't I say next would be DUC day ??? (looking back).... uh, shut the hell up !!!!

Ok.... so I lied... sue me, not that you'll get much more than a bicycle, a few flutes, and the pennies on my eyes...

Anyhowz... I really (really!) was gonna go in search of RD pics, but ended up detouring somehow, and here you see a collection of DUC pics...


I love the blue... not sure about the lettering on the tank, but the blue.... yeah :-)


And this just looks nice...

And I'll take one of these too, while yer at it.... (NOW please)


A DUC Monster with lots of carbon fiber.... Oh yes please


How about one of these... in maybe a red white and green color scheme....


OK.... I'm not promising, not even really hinting at it (well, ok, I guess I am) but I suspect the next listing will be RD's..... I think

750 HONDA DAY

Yes, its Honda 750 Day... at least here. Some that aren't even close to what I've owned, and some pretty stinkin close


The title on this file says its a Honda 750 inside there somewhere.... hmmmm

16 valve Honda engine, inside a brit/cafe setup... uh, will let ya know on this one...

8 valve 750 engine, setup as a rat bike, of sorts... I kinda like...


This is definitely one that could grow on ya...



Uh.... ok....




Talk about old 60's (or even 50's) style cafe bike... but, except for thos tires, I kinda like this one....




This one.... oh yeah.... definitely OH YEAH



And.... supposed 'sometime in the future' Honda 750.... uh... well....



I said some that were truly 'not what you'd have in mind' Honda 750's... put lights on this, and a front disc break, and.... oh yeah, oh yeah, ooooooooooooooh.... got a cigarette ?
And to anyone that suggests, a custom 750 Honda can have a sissy bar (hell no), a big two up touring saddle (fuck no), or raked and chromed (do that and ya get yer legs broken).... NO! Custome 750's in MY WORLD mean added cornering clearance, tighter feel, and a sportier look, period, end of sentence, shut the hell up....
Next up.... I think.... RD400's.....
