The chief engineer of the "Thrive" processing studio, Barata Dwiputra, set himself the task of converting the legendary Yamaha XS650 as a personal project. He searched for the basis for his creation for a good two years, and completed the renovation itself in a few months. The result is an extremely naughty engine that impresses with its retro simplicity.
Cafe racers are definitely one of those trends that remains almost forever. While they are choppers intended for the elderly gentlemen, these semi-contemporaries are intended for those who want "to steal” the status of eternal youth who do not consider themselves to be rules and present themselves in society deviation. In the photo gallery, we present you an excellent remake of the classic Yamaha XS650 - in 1968. Mr. Barata, co-owner of the processing plant "Thrive", after finding it after two years of searching, transformed the engine into the machine you are witnessing in an extremely short time.
As expected, the engine has been slightly lowered, and the front fork itself has undergone some changes. More in the photo gallery itself.
