I'm building a minimotard based on a Motovert pro '07

now that things begin to get going I decided to post it here.

I 'll skip all the problems I had to make everything fit and just start with the rolling frame and the engine being mounted.

and now it looks like this :

will be good to see the finished product

nice

yeah engine looks like has some stuff done, liking the exhaust
Looks like a pretty decent front brake setup also, spill the beans what is it ?

124 se take?

it's the new takegawa 138cc complete engine with automatic decompression.
the exhaust is handmade by a local exhaust wizzard here in belgium.

The front brake is a radial master brake cilinder of a derbi supermotard (13mm diameter), the brake caliper is a dual piston one from a 125 -250 cc mx bike (tocico)

The other parts are being deliverd bit by bit so I'll keep you guys posted when anything changes

regards

well here are some other pictures I have on my computer..

and here a closer look at the engine :

as for the rake: It has slighter more rake then the BBR frame I compared it with but nothing extreme...

so nice i should of bought a motovert!! but owell it looks nice..

what made u pick the motovert frame over a BBR frame or similar?

I did want an aluminium frame, so that did limit the number of possibilities.
And second I didn't want a perimeter frame so i could easily acces the carb between races / heats,...

and indeed the rake of this bike is a bit more so it's a bit more stable then a bbr ( we ride 10" here in belgium so a bit of extra stability won't hurt

also because I haven't see many motovert pro 's like this being build as a minimotard...and I like to be a bit different

and i do love the form of the frame
