Good times. A Sunday spent riding the new outrageously good @kramermotorcyclesusa GP2 890R with fast friends. 2021 is already looking up.
@meadsspeedti absolutely killed it. We’ve been working on these for awhile now. Custom designed titanium pipes to take full advantage of the built up RZV500R motor. The challenges of working worlds apart have all been worth it. Cheers Bryce!!
A New Year:
Finish / line. See ya 2020.
One down. Three to go with @meadsspeedti
Pre weld // Titanium chambers for the Yamaha RZV500R. This should use a good chunk of Earth’s supply of Argon.
Dueling 68’s // With @motrizzle on board the @kramermotorcyclesusa HKR-EVO 2.
Always a good time at a @classictrackday event! 🏁
Organised Chaos from @meadsspeedti !
As with all 2 strokes, getting the maximum out of the Yamaha RZV500R isn’t just about the engine work- designing a tuned set of custom pipes to take full advantage of the new motor’s potential is critical.
Some of the behind the scenes work on the Yamaha RZV500R swingarm. Few more pieces to fab up with @makrshaker and it’ll be ready for welding.
Lots of things happening these days (both inside and outside of the shop) But while progress on the RZV500R continues behind the scenes, I thought I’d take the opportunity to build a tribute to Neil Hodgson’s historic 996RS with some cool old school parts.
My competitive “pit crew” showing their support.
Flashback to the photo shoot with @themightymotor and the recently completed Ducati SuperStrada 1100.
Piece by Piece. Yamaha RZV500R.
I’ve always said that pure luck doesn’t exist. Rather it’s a combination of opportunity and preparedness meeting.
It’s taken awhile to get each of these components with everything going on in the world, but wow, it’s worth it.
A couple of frame grabs from the video project with @chrisbottoms. Really looking forward to this.
Mega thanks to @willow_springs_raceway @rammingspeed_racing and @chrisbottoms for the rare opportunity to spend the day spinning laps for the camera on some of my favorite builds at “the fastest road in the west”. It was a fantastic day with perfect weather, a killer crew and @motrizzle and @comandante_parra. Looking forward to the finished piece!
Back on track! As the world begins to spin again I grabbed the Kramer @kramermotorcyclesusa to spin a few laps with friends @letsridetrackdays. Love this machine! Error: Cannot add access token directly to the shortcode.

So, back in the midst of the bizarre year that was 2020 and in part due to the entire race season being effectively cancelled a few of us over here at Championship Cycles were getting a bit edgy.
We really needed to blow off some steam.
A few phone calls were made and a loose plan was scratched out.
@motrizzle and I loaded up a couple of my favorite bikes (the 1990 Suzuki GSX-R750 8hour endurance racer and the carbon ‘93 race-prepped Ducati 888) and headed out.
We met up with cinematographer/filmmaker @chrisbottoms and his outstanding crew an hour north of Los Angeles at Willow Springs for some classic 1990’s track time fun and to capture some of the days’ highlights.
Trust me, I’ve got the biggest grin behind that visor.
Hands down the best day of 2020 and here’s hoping for more of this in 2021!
Enormous thanks to:

These titanium sections comprise the exhaust chambers on the RZV500R.

So, with the new design in hand (and a duplicate bike to test fitment), titanium master @Meadsspeedti has begun and cut the patterns on the bespoke titanium chambers.

Dymag wheels and Nitron forks fitted up with the custom triple and brakes. It’s not a roller yet...more of a wheelbarrow, but more good stuff is in the works.

However, when @motrizzle and @motorcycle_com asked me to stand in for a day of shooting with the new Ducati Superleggera that was just straight up pure luck!
Huge thanks to those guys and @phil_readjr for the opportunity to ride as close to a MotoGP bike as possible. 234hp/330lbs.
