A Malaysian teenager’s dream of owning a Yamaha Y15 motorcycle has pushed his imagination to the next level. Too young to actually ride one, the 13-year-old instead converted his bicycle by mounting motorcycle parts with cable ties.

His innovative invention drew laughter from police officers – and social media users.

In a viral video, officers can be seen inspecting the “motorcycle” he is proudly showing off. “I want to ride this motorcycle but I can’t [yet],” he tells them.

Apart from the original motorcycle body kit, the bicycle also features a makeshift exhaust with a potato crisp container.

The boy confidently explains his modifications to the officer – including an authentic speedometer, which “doesn’t work”, he tells the laughing officers. “How can it work if the wires are not connected?”

He concludes with a joking prediction: “Wait until I have a real motorcycle then you can confiscate it.”
