Hi Quenton what color are you going with on the sportsman?

Hi mason_man,

It was green, but the frame has been sand blasted and primered. I plan to have it painted the original Whizzer red.

have fun,

My 1950 Whizzer Sportsman.....

Current record holder on the "Roller Road", current "Dirt Drag" winner [150 feet @ 40.3 MPH]. Last Dyno run yielded over 70 MPH with almost 10 HP on gasoline. Different clutch ratios used on "Dirt Drags", high speed runs.

Nicknamed "Wheelie Whizzer"

Will easily standup and drop you off the rear, and is automatic clutch belt drive.

Have all the vintage parts to restore to 1950 original, but just having too much fun setting records.

Current motor is a 1999 modified WC-1 motor with a 2005 NE cylinder.
Special camshaft from Raceway Products, Cylinder & valve work by Gerd Lowack. Cylinder porting, valve train modifications, special mushroom lifters, custom .010" copper head gasket, combustion chamber design & rework, exhaust sytem design, automatic clutch upgrade, modifed 26 MM carburetor, etc by Quenton [me].

Have fun,

Heavy duty looking little beast... nice build.

USA/German Made Whizzers

Just After the War. Whizzer Motor kits were sent to West Germany using both US military and whizzer Factory Inventory's..
Sporting the Whizzer Name..The Germans took them apart and did the up grade fully Jeweled crank,and wrist pin rod bearings. This was also done with last runs of the US made 700 motors. I just wonder how it all went was it the Germans who showed the Americans how to do it..?
Notice the 4 link girder forks,and the really extra long wheel base,on this German Version Whizzer bike
I have only these two photos of this
one example
that sits in a window in Belgium

Quenton, Fill in the blanks.

fine bikes,,Cause Honey this ain't no
Schwinn bicycle.

I don't understand the Email I got today...

... it said something about Quenton saying something about "The Great Whizzer Photo Thread", but all I wanted to do was to call attention to the ad I have on Buy/Sell/Trade, wondering why nobody wants to buy my Whizzer, with LOTS of upgrades and mods by Quenton. (see my ad with picture) and only 400 miles!

The Luxembourg Whizzers are a bit on the rare side, with rather little known about them on this side of the pond. Here's a link that shows some of the history:http://www.industrie.lu/whizzer.html
It's in German and French, but it can be translated using Google toolbar.
It looks like Whizzer Luxembourg used Whizzer engines from the USA, but also used engines made by Maico in Germany. In fact, this page also shows bikes with engines of three different diplacements; 132cc, 125cc and a "Whizzette" with a 49cc engine. This web page also shows the Whizzer factory in Cessange, Luxembourg.
