The versatile XS650 as a Roadracer.

There’s not much these bikes haven’t been turned into. this is just a stunning roadrace build.

Fun looking Yamaha SR500 Cafe Thumper.

I love builds like this. Really fun and easy (enough) to build. And they always seem to grab ther fair share of attention

Another Virago Varient. This time it’s more of a Flat Tracker style bike.

Since the Cafe Virago pics were such a hit I thought I’d post this highly modified TR1 tracker. The TR1 is a not a Virago but it’s a very very close cousin. Anyway I love the kind of balls it takes to try builds like these especially when it pays off so nicely. Oh and I saw these over on ADV rider but tracked them down to the excellent (and all in Italian) Ottenero Blog. Really interesting stuff.

Reader Ride. Beautiful XS650 Bobber.

Randy Hooks sends in this beauty. No description of the build but the bike pretty much speaks for itself. On a side note the originals photos were huge and of outstanding quality. Beautiful build!
Thanks Much Randy!

Offroad Yamaha R1 Video.

I forgot about this video.  I thought I’d posted it before.  Speaks for itself really. Enjoy!

Yamaha XJ900.

Known as the Seca 900 here in the U.S. and one of my all time favorite UJM’s. (Universa Japanese Motorcycles) of the 70’s / 80’s. This is an excellent example from the ADV Rider site.

Here in the stock colors.
