The "snowstorm" flat tracker that I fell in love with the way it looked and chose for the way it ran.

The "snowstorm" is a flat tracker built from full scratch with a 150cc Horizontal engine at its core. With its lightweight chassis and simple configuration, it is both easy to handle and has high driving performance. In this issue, we will focus on one rider who is making his presence felt on the flat track scene with Snowstorm as his partner.

The "snowstorm," a full-scratch flat tracker

What initially attracted me was not a theory.

The snowstorm has a stronger presence than its 150cc displacement would suggest. The balance of the full-scratch design and the simplicity of the structure, which has been stripped down to the bare essentials, are the first things that attract the eye. The appearance caught my eye," he said. I thought, "This is really cool. I wanted to buy it. said the owner, Mr. Fubuki. Before he was even aware of the displacement or genre of the car, his senses had already given him the answer.

The snowstorm shows a presence that is hard to believe for a 150cc

Despite its simple, stripped-down configuration, this vehicle attracts the eye

Flat Tracks as the Axis of Driving

Fubuki is a female rider who is fascinated by vintage motorsports. In addition to this flat track vehicle, she also owns an FTR223. She also rides motocross on a vintage Triumph, and continues to ride in a style that is not restricted to any one genre. What they all have in common is the attitude of "making a bike that can be driven run properly. The Snowstorm is a natural extension of that attitude.

In addition to snowstorm, Mr. Blizzard also owns a HONDA FTR223 for flat track use

He is a motorsports enthusiast who also competes in vintage motocross races with his 1970 TRIUMPH TR25W!

What he likes is the "quality" of the construction.

I like the coffin-shaped tank and the texture of the aluminum. I really like the overall form, including the beautiful welding! Snowstorm is not the type to make a statement with decorative customization. The necessary elements have been put together with a high degree of precision, resulting in a convincing appearance. It is this "quality" that attracts Snowstorm.

The coffin-shaped tank made of aluminum is his favorite

I also like the beauty of each carefully finished weld

Lightness is a margin for aggressiveness

The "very lightweight and very easy to ride. So I want to be able to do slides on the flat track that will knock everyone's socks off! The ease of use is also a margin for exploring the limits. To be honest, I think it is fast enough to beat an FTR223 in a race. His words are light, but his eyes are always on what's next.

The design concept of snowstorm

The snowstorm was built by Mr. Watanabe, a representative of DUCKTAIL, a custom store in Miyagi, Japan. At the same time, he is the organizer of the flat track event HAVE FUN! a flat track event. When HAVE FUN! was born from the idea of "Let's make a bike with a 150cc Horizontal engine to enjoy flat track riding more freely! The goal was to create a beautiful appearance, which was made possible by the full-scratch production process. At the same time, we also wanted the bike to be "attractive to ride.

Beautiful appearance. A solid construction. And a rider who uses it up without hesitation. Snowstorm is not a bike to be displayed. The value of snowstorm becomes clearer as the rider continues to ride it. The value of the snowstorm cannot be expressed in numbers or specs. This is naturally conveyed by the sight of Snowstorm's owner, Mr. Blizzard, maneuvering the bike around a corner. Instagram "Single Cylinder for Everyone" https://www.instagram.com/minnano_tankito
