Mad Genius Sticks A Yamaha RD350 Engine Inside A 1960s Lambretta Scooter

Are you the kind of person who likes to come up with combinations that most people would never think of? If so, then you might appreciate this build from a guy named Kelvin. As he tells the story, he had a Yamaha RD350 sitting around, and then he obtained a frame from a 1963 Lambretta scooter. Synapses started firing in a particular way, and so he decided to see if he could do something amazing with that old Lammy shell. Thus, the Yambretta was born. 

Kelvin considers himself just a regular guy who likes to work on bikes, just so we’re clear. He’s the kind of guy who learned to love wrenching at his dad’s side, as a kid—and continued that love on into adulthood and working on his own projects. He doesn’t consider himself an engineer by profession—just a shed guy by passion, really.
