I love seeing the engine as the stressed member. I think I got started on this site because of a pair of pretty yamahas done something like this but with what I would call 60’s lemans/ streetfighter crossover styling. Those are some of the best looking bikes I have seen.
Those huge twins must be crazy on these little yamahas. How much power would that be putting out?
Is it really ridable, or would that just be heavy wrestling the big engine and big front tire?

ANy ID on that from the creator? Looks to me like a Virago chassis, cafe’ed and simplified.

It’s an XV920. They’re cool and although rare they do make a chain drive one. Not much power though, only like 60hp or so.
It’s all about the torque! That’s where the fun is with a bike like that!
