Inspiration

Attempting a challenge, such as these "day dreams," would require the use of a much stronger drive wheel than we usually use on a motorized bicycle. It would, least a motorcycle hub laced to a better quality bike rim. Even a smallish 4 puts-out a lot of power, especially torque.
 
The Rapido is a 125 Aermacchi from quick research. I hope you haven't got long legs if you decide to ride it.
 
Here is my inspiration for my Warrior build

Just a few photos I came across. The first one pertains to my living in Vermont and making something that might work in snow.

The rest, well.. I do work at a railroad. That is where I build and keep my bikes so I've been asked more then once....When? My answer "When I finish building it in my head I'll start it in metal.





 
The second pic will be of a Walter Moore designed NSU500. If there seems to be a similarity to the original Norton International, it is a coincidence generated by Walter Moore designing that first.

If there are ever two motorcycles that have contributed more to the modern day motorcycle it would have to be the Indian/Hendee Co. and the Merkel/Miami cycle Co. and I Love Em Both now Excelsior/Schwinn was one to be reckoned with as well,

Thanks! for sharing that info Mr. B
