be4ver Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 So, scrap bikes you say? Yes! Over the last few months I've acquired these two old 50cc bikes thankfully before they made it to the scrappys. I have hopes and dreams of making them as cool as some of the ones I see on here and around the place lately. The first bike I scored was this beauty. A Suzuki M30 in very decent condition for its age. I was making my way back to work one day after lunch when I saw it sitting in some guys trailer amongst a bunch of scrap metal. I decided to follow it and sure enough it stopped outside the scrap metal dealers. Before he could get out of his vehicle, I ran up and asked if he was about to scrap it. Sure enough he was so I offered to buy it there and then. $100 was his price which I was more than happy to pay. (Even though he was about to get like $10 for it as scrap) Anyway here it is 2nd comes the Yamaha MR50. Out on a farm one day I spot an old fa50 in a shed so when I asked the owner if he wanted to get rid of it he said, nah but you can have this old Yamaha I want to get rid of. Shit yeah! Ok I'll take this off your hands! It's obviously had a hard life on possibly multiple farms and it's sporting some pretty awesome "on farm repairs" This I'd like to make into something like a cafe racer / scrambler. So one afternoon me and a couple mates hacked it up a bit for a laugh. Before and after. I may need some guidance....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

be4ver Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah! He had sold it on trademe for $100 a couple months earlier and never had contact with the buyer so he got sick of it and was gna scrap it! Once I had it at work It started straight up and I rode it to and from the smoko shop for at least a week without even touching it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
