project stopped before getting going

well, I decided I'd like to build a boardtracker inspired bike (like below) so was talking to my brother and he said "got just the engine for you lol" and gave me the one pictured below (Honda S90) with a couple of cases to find.

now the stumbling block, do I...

1. get a frame made for this engine
2. sell this and get a better suited engine
3. non of the above lol

looking at the phillips screw holding the exhaust flange and parts missing i would say sell it and find something better with a frame attached to it

Went down this route 2 years ago, found a great forum [ and lost the address ! ]. Must try harder.

I looked at all the possibilities and came up with a 250 Virago - has the right look engine, would actually pull me along [ albeit slowly ], chain drive - relatively cheap to buy a complete bike then flog off the unwanted parts.

THEN - some German bloke came up with this one - MY idea honest! 8) Reputedly built it for next to nothing. I'll try to find the article - in one of my German mags.

That's the very one - thanx for that. I'd never have found it as they've changed their name !

As you can see - the donor was a 250 Virago and was built for under 1000 euros.

And yes - it was a 250 I'd come up with and not a 125 - senility again. :
