Looks like it started out as a R80ST. Similar to the R80 G/S but with 19″ front wheel. Tell tale signs are the three bolt monolever rear end and the footpegs…. same wheel hubs as the G/S and ST

Anonymous, thanks for the two other picture you sent.
Of all the bikes i’ve seen on this website, this is the bike that hit me the most, and it’s also the reason why i’m now following bikeexif every day.

I recognize the mufflers from KTM’s HXC or EXC series. they had a wonderful manic blasting noise on the single 620 and 640 engines, I wonder how this sound on the bobber. I suppose the exhausts are not interconnected, so that would make an interesting tune.

this bike WAS built by Aguiar that is correct he rode it for a few months and decided to sell this one of the two he built from the R80 series. the other bike was an R80 st which borrowed parts from a GSX-R 750 and 1000. he called this bike “golden oldie” and with 5 days left for the auction on ebay the bike was at 12,000 dollars. he decided to change all the fluids out for the new owner to be. When the bike was on the work stand the mechanic turned away for a second and the bike crashed off the work stand by some mysterious spell, luckily only knicking the gas tank which was barely noticeable. but Aguiar took it as a sign from the bike itself that it did not want to be sold. SO the auction was ended early and he kept the bike. Sadly to my knowlege i beleive the bike is the only one in existance and is not for sale. although trying to replicate it on your own im sure would be fun, which is what i plan to do.

I have seen that and another Augair bike.. a turbo …very cool stuff but hard to find more on the man. or the machines.

seems that rear shock is the trick to the look really… i have seen that rear type arrangement on some ducatis i think.. perhaps i can build it in my garage with my bike in need of a rebuild.

if anyone has details on that rear shock mount.. that is the crux move.
