Ok I want to know more about this bike. all I could find was more of these pics but no info. Anyone seen this bike or seen a thread on it somewhere?

looks an awful lot like a ducati paul smart to me.

i know that i, and others have posted this in the past...but seeing "New Blue" made me daydream about the 1100R Concept from 2007.
Still in love with, and STILL want one

I should have lots of pics on disc (taken with a film camera) from last year, but cant post em, maybe got to look into copying the discs.
Took lots last year at Bonnevilee and Miller..

Rat,
number 22 is a KRRR, made from around 52 to 57, and still raced thru to around 71 when the XR came out to replace it.

If you want to see them in action, jump over the mountains and head to the Bonneville Vintage GP, at Miller Motorsports park, Tooele Utah..on Sept 4, 5, & 6th.

I might get there myself, got great pics of them bike last year.

Damn, wish I could afford to.

I don't know if there is real difference, but according to NCR's site the basis is Ducati Sport 1000S.

Holy crap, that's downright amazing. I was never able to get the hang of trials riding. I'll stick to snowboarding, snow is more forgiving than concrete.

This ain't no motorcycle but inspiring none the less. Well maybe to some.

I couldn't agree more. Absolutely a beautiful machine. Here are some more pics; maybe a bit better resolution.

I'd love to see some pics of the 1100R's naked chassis!

i didn't look at the site. it looks like a sport classic with a paul smart fairing on it.

I need those forks. Any info on that bike?

Ecosse · « **Reply #2837 on:** August 25, 2009, 06:00:59 pm »

sorry for the wee picture.

ahhhh i love this tracker!! other than my sohc/4 i want this bike the most.

cafeconleche · « **Reply #2838 on:** August 25, 2009, 06:39:15 pm »

Got any links to the white tracker? I love it!!!

Industrial Rat400f Killer · « **Reply #2839 on:** August 25, 2009, 07:11:20 pm »

Any info on that wee little pictured red tracker? I want to build or buy a girder fork for my cb350 twin chopper build and those forks look pretty close.

unfortunately i think both those bikes are japanese built. the first looks (to me) like a harley fork. maybe pressing in a honda steering stem? folks do it with other front ends maybe the specs are close enough to make the swap feasible.

the small picture was all i could find but it's a cb100 (engine) fwiw.

MMICAFE · « **Reply #2841 on:** August 25, 2009, 07:36:52 pm »

i think you can use any older H-D springer or just get one and just swap out the steering stems and it might work it just depends on the size of the neck on the donor springer you get

I had to do a double take on this one... I thought it was my own bike! That's the second tank i've seen lately that "borrowed" my scheme...

Thanks to both of you. Do you think if I want to keep a narrow front tire the HD springers will be to wide and look funny? I also don't want any forward rake so I want the fork length to be the same or maybe even shorter than stock. I found some plans for a leaf fork but I really want a girder style.

Rat, short HD springers looked pretty good with a fenderless 21 inch, so you should be fine.
Few things,
bone stock length springer have not been plentiful for a very long time, can be very pricey. late factory remakes are probably less, are chrome and have a damper.

they are probably a few inches shorter than a Honda fork

you may want to consider a VL springer, which is being repopped, the I beam type, it is often called.

try Paughco in Carson City Nev, for some aftermarket springer that is fairly close to the HD design..
