Brat Style 1980 ヤマハ XS650SP

The well-known motorcycle builder Brat Style from Tokyo, Japan, made this gorgeous bike.

The base is a 1980 Yamaha XS650SP. It style reminds the old dirt track racers. It has a large bobber bar, an old prestigious Ceriani GP front fork, a one-off small tank and a 2-into-2 exhaust exiting low on the right side. The back loop has been modified and a nice combination of a Bates style seat and a pillion pad has been fitted.

It just looks so perfect too me...

XS650 Cruisers by Solid Custom 2009 - 2010

A few days ago, I stumbled on pictures of these amazing cruisers by coincidence while browsing on a old blog post.
So I tried to find more details about them, but I couldn't find much.

What I found is that these two bikes were built 5 or 6 years ago by a Japanese shop called Solid Custom, if I'm not wrong.
They are based on Yamaha XS650 and they were displayed in 2009 and 2010 at the Joints Custom Show Nagoya, as well as at the Yokohama HOT ROD Custom Show.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any information about Solid Custom.
So if anyone has some more details such as their Website or blog, I will really appreciate if you share it with me.
Thanks in advance. ^_^

Gravel Crew

Gravel Crew is another well-known Japanese builder that makes nice rides; clean, low, most of the unnecessary things are removed... I like that!!! ^_^

AN-BU Custom Motors XS650SP racer

One more badass XS650 racer build by AN-BU Custom Motors from Nagoya, Japan.

When we look at its style; color, exhaust system, side cartridge oil filter,... we know it is from AN-BU. They have their own style and it is recognizable on each bike they build.

This new blue bike is called "Speed Monster". While the red one is called "Monster".

I got attracted like a magnet by the 2-into-1 exhaust system when I saw it on the "Monster" at the 2013 Yokohama Hot Rod and Custom Show...

I love it...

And a video to listen the exiting exhaust melody... ^_^
