Maybe something smaller and lighter than a Tiger
A Bonneville or Kwak W650 frame maybe ?
The Suzuki TU125 and TU250 Volty were already light and very efficient as petrol bikes. 25 BHP might even be overkill one one of these |
Thanks very much
I think a tiger would work well if I went down the smart diesel engine route, (800cc with a turbo). A like the idea of using a smaller bike, as the 250 engine + gearbox I removed from the superdream was nearly 30% heavier than the diesel that went into it.
I wouldn't mind something a bit more modern looking that the bonneville or w650. I also dont mind doing some frame modifications to make it a bit bigger etc, thats not an issue either, its just finding a good frame with good brakes + suspension etc.
