There’s a certain kind of poetry to the idea of a BMX Cub—it almost seems like a glorious modern interpretation of the early days of motorcycling. For those unfamiliar with the concept, it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like—you take a BMX bike, and then you power it with a Cub (or Cub-clone) single-cylinder engine. It’s apparently a pretty popular construction in Indonesia. Enggal Modified is a customizer who’s particularly good at building bikes in this style.
What do you do when you get good at something, though? You look for new challenges, and that’s exactly what Enggal appears to have done. One day, he asked himself what would happen if he stuck a Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL engine into a BMX build? Obviously, the heavier and more powerful powerplant meant that some serious additional modifications needed to be made. Some people wouldn’t even want to go down that rabbit hole—but Enggal dove right in and figured out how to make it work.
