Make the Parts.
First flatten out the paper roll with anything you can get your hands on.
Next start rolling the paper tube tightly to make a circle.
This is going to help us make most of our parts.

Make 3 such cirlces each of 3 different sizes.
One of these one of these 3 sizes should be significantly larger than the other 2 which will make the wheels. The other 2 will make different parts of the bike like the gearbox and suspension.

Make a few flat pieces by folding rectangular prices over each other, take a few of these prices and glue them to each other's central line, this will be the engine.
Make 3 oval shaped parts, using the newspaper tubes with the same technique used to make the circles.

Assemble the Parts
Draw or print a roadster bike and outline it's important parts.
Now first we'll make the machine frame. Take the 3 oval pieces and glue them on top of each other. Do the same for other three smaller circular pieces. Now take the engine piece and attach its bottom to the smaller circle with glue. Attach the oval pieces on the upper side of the engine. Now attach the other two circle pieces to the engine and the circle as shown in the figure. This gives us the main body.

Attach the Rear Wheels and Complete the Frame.
Take a few tubes and start going about the parts we previously attached to make the body and glue to these tubes. This will be the frame. Leave a little extra of this frame hanging out to attach the wheels.
Remember the three bigger circles you made earlier, take two of those and glue them on top of each other.
Attach this wheel to the frame as shown in the figure.

Make the Front Part
Make a circle with the newspaper tube and push its centre outward a little to make a headlight.
Now take two tubes and glue a small cut out tube piece to them, leaving little place between .
Glue the bottom of the two tubes to the centre of the other big circle.
Now just attach the headlight on the the two tubes and attach a handle by bending another tube to the desired shape.

Almost Done
Attach the front end of the bike to the main frame by applying glue on the oval piece( fuel tank) and attaching the front end. Now your bike is almost complete.
Finishing the Bike.
Attach mudgaurds made by cutting a hollow newspaper circle into half, you can also add an extra seat or stand if required. Colour the bike as you want. Here I have used black paint with a dry coat of metallic copper paint.
