July 8, 201312 yr This popped up in one of my FB feeds. Guy is selling it for 47k invoice bike I am not interested but had never heard of this bike & I must say it is quite a pretty little classic looking cafe style bike isn't it?
July 8, 201312 yr Author Very pretty cafe racer, do you have a link to the seller? Yes here it is... https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005014325959&hc_location=stream But like I said I do not know this person or even where he is in Thailand as I did not read his page. I just saw this thru a feed I get called bigbikemarket.com on FB that also listed his ph# 0846551330
July 8, 201312 yr Looks nice mania. Seems they have the engine of a 250cc Virago. I found this picture of a SRV i like more, it looks more "solid". But to be honest, i am not a cafe racer fan, maybe thats the problem. I like real fenders that keep the dirt and rain away EDIT: Seems this is the "SRV250 Classic" while in the OP its the "SRV250 Renaissia".

July 8, 201312 yr Author That is cool too Wantan thanks When I see some older bikes especially smaller capacity bikes. It reminds me of older architecture. 40 years or more? ago they built many small homes in the US I think they were called craftsmen cottages. Even though they were small they had very cool complex roof designs. Bike & engines like these remind me of them. The builders seemed to look at the bike as a whole & worked to make them look very nice/flowing design wise. Only a smallish engine but a V twin with thought given to exhaust design/aesthetics etc. Very nice
July 9, 201312 yr Author Where's da front caliper on that Yellow bike? Good eye Shurup It is missing isn't it? Here is another with it but a bike I googled
July 9, 201312 yr Looks like the bike is being nicely rebuilt, maybe not all the parts went on it yet?
July 9, 201312 yr Author Looks like the bike is being nicely rebuilt, maybe not all the parts went on it yet? True & now that you mentioned it I do see the front brake lever etc. missing would not be too fun with just that little back drum brake
July 9, 201312 yr There is one always parked on the sidewalk/pavement on Rama 4 at the Prakanong end. Also a Cafe Racer I thought it was a 180 twin like the old ones in Sing. I'll have a closer look next time I walk to the hardware store next door. Edited July 9, 201312 yr by VocalNeal
