So here I am having a great time skiing in Saas Fee, Switzerland.

halfway down a run we see a cafe so go to have a coffee and I find this brilliant table made out of motorbikes. I just think it is excelent use of deaded bikes. Just really cool.

Brownie points for makes and models of each one.

Hi

Guesses. XL125, KMX125, KE100, XT125 and something unknown.

First glance I thought it was the Swiss motorcycle equivalent of parking a bicycle and walking off with the front wheel Embarassed .

All the best

Keith

We are only just down the road. Only about 60 miles to us. Stopped off at my fathers on the way back.

All the best

The unknown one looks rather like an old RD 250, the one before the LC model? You are prolly right about the rest, Keith. Thumbs Up

Tank looks too skinny and the design looks more like a trail bike.

All the best

Brick Wall . Only counted 5 bikes and missed that one. Yes I would agree it does look like an air cooled RD. It is the black one I cannot identify.

All the best

got another one for you....

a kids motorbike ride thingy in front of a shop on the local highstreet.

Made out of a real monkey bike still has the spark plug in and everything. no chain though so it's not gonna go anywhere fast.
Think its a 50 or maybe 75cc drum brakes still in tact.

I'm starting to really like this place. Plus the skiing is pretty good too.

That was my guess, but had a peer at some on bike pics and only the very earliest I could find didn't have a braced swinging arm, and on those I couldn't find any where the hand holds behind the shocks looked right.

All the best
