They really do take the term "twin-shock" literally. Seems like a waste of good engineering to me...... ::) ???

I find myself in total agreement with my old chum 414  ;). These bikes are an insult to the original concept of 'twin shock'. What makes it worse is that the officials allow them. I reluctantly admit that they aren't as bad as those toxic pieces of crap coming out of Holland...fitting twin shocks to late model bikes.

I suppose at the end of the day they look like factory, not like something from the black lagoon

I must be missing something, but if they are "G" models then wouldn't they be evo legal in either twin shock or oem trim ?

That's right.  If our rule's were "must be twin shocks" YZs would be so cheap riders would be doing the same thing here.  Now Would these be a better YZ ???
But please don't touch the KX.

Geez you guys are hard to please!!

You can take any old four-stroke and make a real Frankenstein and nobody comments - or some dodgy old US '70s frame kit - or some nickel plated $20K UK wonder [where nothing in the kit actually fits, including the engine and you have to have it replated after it is FIXED] - but chop up a common old Yamaha or 2 and you guys arc up. They have done a great job - viva la difference!

And Firko, they are from Holland…

I reckon they look great!! I'd love one [or 2].

Sorry Firko,
I was wrong, they come from Belgium. A fellow named Hans Coomans in Begium does these. His email is: [email protected]

He says…

We don't have a website for now but we are working on it.

We are currently working on a collection of genuine bikes and also modified bikes. But we still need to make pictures of them and catologue them.

But heres a small summary of bikes we already have.

Yamaha's: originial yz from 1974 untill 1983 (from 80ccm until 490ccm) (14 bikes) suzuki Tm and RM from 1975 until 1984 (from 125ccm until 250ccm)(10 bikes)

kawasaki KX 125ccm (1980, 1981,1982) different modified bikes (7 in total)

Still bikes in restauration (20 bikes)


He sounds like a man with a plan…
