ABOUT THE BIKE:

Made in Brazil. The manufacture produced a claimed 450 of these motorcycles. Sold to the public in different configuration’s (Sport, ouring and such) to meet customer demands. They were also used as Highway Patrol, olice and Military Escort bikes.

This bike is a 1983 “Super Esporte” model, therwise known as a “Super Sport”.

This bike was just in the largest Motorcycle Magazine in the USA (Rider Magazine) in June of this year (2015) in the Retrospection section where the author writes about rare and unusual motorcycle’s. The author had wanted to get his hands on, ide and write about this bike for decades. Rare in Brazil, EXTREMELY RARE” in the USA.

To add to its rarity. In our research so far, his bike is the only known Amazonas that is an actual Amazonas that was NOT brought into the USA as a kit bike for special construction. Around a dozen kit bikes were imported into a Texas distributors hands where you supplied the motor and trans due to DOT and emissions reasons. Only a handful were actually sold and assembled from what we can tell. This bike is a runner, as current California Registration and Title. To add to the rarity of the bike, t only has at this point in time 410 KM’s on the odometer. That in miles? Is only Two Hundred and Fifty Five miles (255 miles) on the odometer. I do ride the bike so it will go up. The previous owner told us they bought it and used it for a few rides and parked it due to health/lifestyle changes.

VW powered with a 1600 cc Dual Port Type 1 VW motor. Uses a VW bus transmission giving 4 forward gear’s that you shift with at your left foot like any other motorcycle does and a reverse gear that is a simple movement of a lever on the right side. All the power to the rear wheel is thru a chain drive. Due to the bike being parked and neglected for many year’s, t is in all original patina. A true Barn/Shed find. We did not re-chrome or paint anything. This bike is as original as can be as if you bought the bike from the manufacture in Brazil. The brake calipers and lines along with master cylinders were rebuilt. The electrical still needs sorting out. Has brake lights, unning and blinkers when it wants to. The headlight does not work. The tin’s (there are none) it is all fiberglass. The fuel tank was lined in Caswells and is in excellent shape with new petcocks. Has new ME888 tires, also have the original Amazonas tires sold with the bike that due to age were deemed not reliable to ride on.
