find of the year (so far!). this is a jaguh chopper from the far east. i discovered it on borneo garage’s blog.
don’t know it’s exact origin but after a little research it seems to be that jaguh is a motor built in the philippines that’s pretty much a copy of a kawasaki eliminator 125cc thumper.
i have always wanted perimeter rotors and dag nabbit, that’s what’s going on my next bike. also, dig the front end action and the low profile. i wonder how the front tire-melting exhaust works. how many brain cells per mile die inhaling exhaust and melting tire fumes when you ride this killer little bike?
stylistically, it’s great. one more killer chopper from the far out east. i’ll bet it weighs less than 200lbs (90kg). just freaking crazy. i needed that.
spongy sent a comment about this bike last night. he knows the builders and it seems they’re malaysian. the owner, omar, runs a shop called “eastern bobber” located less than 15 miles (20 kilometers) southeast of central kuala lumpur in kajang.
i don’t know if they have a website, but you can find them on facebook where there are tons of pix of the bikes these guys build. i’ll try to get more pix of higher resolution and more info about the builds and post them for your viewing pleasure. here is another i snagged from their facebook page:
thanks for the info, spongy! check out his blog here at beeskneesbobber.
