Honda FTR223 Street Tracker “The Little Honda” by Cumpert Contraptions

.  

This FTR223 street tracker, nicknamed “Cumpert 001” or the “Little Honda”, was the first bike build of Tim Cumpert of Cumpert Contraptions. He used an original 2002 Honda FTR223 “Flat Track Racer” as a donor for this project.

"I wanted to do as much of the work myself as possible, to challenge myself and to showcase my range of skills. For example I machined all the bespoke aluminium components such as the headlight, idiot light cluster and fuel cap and completed all the paintwork.  The main aim was to achieve a a pared down, clean finish with unique design elements whilst also ensuring that the bike was road legal. The bike retains its original engine, frame and wheels"  said Tim.
