For the motorcycles used in Sylvester Stallone‘s latest movie – The Expendables, Stallone went to Bourget’s Bike Works as well as other bikes from the Easyriders Show and Cycle Source Chopper Show during “Bike Week New Orleans“.

Expendables is about an expendable team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator. The movie also stars Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis and Steve Austin.

“I personally chose all of the bikes,” said Stallone. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also in the film, although the governor shot his scenes in California. Jean-Claude Van Damme was reported to have been personally offered a role by Stallone, but turned it down because he felt there was no substance to the character.

Want a Japanese cafe racer but can’t find a Yamaha SR400/500? No fear, the Suzuki Savage based CS-1 from Ryca Motors is now available.

You can create a thumper from a kit which has everything you’ll need to build your own CS-1 cafe racer. It is very important to note that the kit was designed to avoid any major modifications to the frame or engine! Just find a usable example of the 650cc, 30bhp Suzuki Savage and get to work with a Ryca Motors kit.

The designer, Casey Stevenson is a 37-year old who lives in Los Angeles, California. Stevenson used to design zero-gravity microcapsules for the Space Shuttle Discovery.

“The Savage motor was perfect for the project, but it was a real stretch of the imagination to see the rest of the bike as something I would want to ride. But the overall shape of the stock tank isn’t bad, so I started to mess with it a little, cutting off the bottom and sections of the front to make it sit much lower on the frame. I like to make the most of what I’ve got, so after the tank was all welded up, I made the decision to use as much of the stock bike as possible. Things just flowed from there, and I realised the best ways of making the components were also the simplest and most cost effective.”
