Send the creator of this beautiful bike to China right now!
Start mass producing replicas and get full of money, he deserves it!
Great job!

Flat Track bikes are always a lot of fun. You can actually venture off-road with these styles bikes, something that most “Adventure Touring” bikes cannot/will not do. Great job on the headlight, very creative.

Oh how i love this bike!! Great job. Love this motor too. My first bike was a XS650 rode from Ft.Dix NJ to Arizona screaming it all the way, she never let me down. Thanks Motorcycle Daily

This is the Yamaha I referenced above. The photos, with the white background, don’t do it justice. It is beautiful in the flesh. Perhaps the best paint job I’ve ever seen on a motorcycle. The entire bike is immaculate. Everytime I see one of these, it makes me wonder why I’ve not done anything to satisfy my lust, and built my own, before the 650 Yamahas are too hard to get my hands on.

Great work! That hidden headlight was GENIUS! I like this type of project, along with Ryca and triumph scrambler customs.

Note the trick headlight arrangement in the slide show.

I’ve always wanted to build a Yamaha 650 based lightweight bike, along these lines. I saw one at a classic bike show a couple of years ago, a guy from Topeka, KS built. One of the coolest bikes I’ve ever seen.

Nice work on this one, Andreas!

Ya, ya this is the kind of thing people need. If anything to be different, it could have more originality instead of being based solely on Yamaha. And dress up the front little bit….. and put it into production, perhaps in China. Overall – great attempt for moto revival.
