Ride safe
Hello everyone, my name is Steve, I'm 17 years old and I'm from Greece. I always had a passion for bobbers and cafe racers and I decided to built my own!
Please feel free to comment and also give me your tips and ideas :)

This is the only pic I have from when i bought it.

Next step was to get rid of the crappy taillight so I installed a side license plate mount with a retro looking lucas taillight and then I removed the rear fender which is going to be shortened and I also got 280mm rear suspensions

I had a problem with my risers and the dragbars would hit the tank so I decided to remove the speedometer and turn my risers forward. Also the original indicators had to be replaced with smaller ones.... and this is where I'm at the momment. I'm planing to replace the air filter and remove the cover, remove the fake muffler and put a drag pipe, but is this going to affect my engine?

Are there any easy performance upgrades?

Looks like a virago 250 swap is a direct swap 8)
 
I wanted to be legal, my drivers license allows me to drive an 125cc motorcycle

I have no idea if there are any upgrades, but this little guy is pretty powerful
 
Rear fender finally chopped and painted, as well as the headlight which was originaly chrome

I had no idea this bike existed.

euromodel. beenaround since 96,same as kawa vulcan,shadow from hondaand the sr 125 if im not mistaken
 
Nice bike, the 125s is jpn and euromodel, same as the kawa vulcan,honda shadow and yamaha sr all in 125cc.
Eurorules are that they cant have more power than 15 hp if i am not mistaken!
Had a 250 as a commuter awhile back, cheapand fun!
 
re jet,open exhaustand filter and it breathes as it should ;)
I think hebo.dk have performanceparts for it,they have a bunchof cool stuff for other small bikes.......
 
Since it's too cold outside and i haven't got a lot of money i desided to do some paint work done
