Metro Garage RS100

This bike featured on MERCENARY a while back and has generated quite a lot of interest. Since then, the owner has been in touch with some additional photographs and information.

The bike is a Yamaha RS100 and beongs to Luis Uyarte Palma of San Carlos in Chile. It was build by Ignacio Ortiz at Metro Garage. The seat unit, paint and clip-ons are by Metro and the front forks and wheels are off a Honda VT 250  - Note the inboard ventilated front brake disc. It looks like a drum brake but is in fact a strange and complicated disc setup!

Yamaha RS-100

Edit:May 2016 - http://www.mercenary.ie/2016/05/metro-garage-rs100.html

Edit: January 2016 - Since I first posted this image last year I've had a couple of inquiries about it. I didn't build the bike. I found the image randomly on the net somewhere so I don't know anything about it for sure.

However, by looking at the image I can guess the following. The rear of the frame has been chopped off and all the superfluous brackets have been removed but otherwise, it looks fairly standard. The swingarm looks pretty standard too.

The seat/tailpiece looks custom, as does the exhaust. The clock looks like it might be standard (Honda or Yamaha) and the hand-grips and mirrors look like they came from Ebay.

The wheels are Boomerang Comstars off a mid-eighties Honda, and looking at the front hub I'm guessing that Honda is a VT 250 with an inboard disk brake. Judging by the top yoke, I'd say the whole front end is VT 250.

If you have any other images of the bike or if you know anything about it or its builder, drop me a line at info@mercenary.ie

Volcano

Volcano
This is a fantastic shot! I don't know much about it except that it's the Lascar Volcano in Chile and it looks like it was taken in the early half of the '90s.
