Custom Bikes Of The Week: 1 March, 2020



A nitrous-fueled Indian Scout racer in Siberia, the first Yamaha Yamaha FZX750 we’ve featured, a classy Monster from Revival Cycles, and what appears to be a two-stroke Suzuki Katana … but isn’t.

Yamaha FZX750 by Barracuda Moto We?ve never featured a Yamaha FZX750 Fazer on EXIF in past: it?s one of the more obscure bikes out there, and not particularly suited to customization.
Despite a long production run from the early 80s to the mid 90s, relatively few were made, and were chiefly notable for their carburetor setup: four downdraught Mikunis concealed by the tank, which had a design akin to the V-Max.

This scrambler comes from the Italian company Barracuda, and is a showpiece for their universal-fit parts. The FZX750 has aged amazingly well: the tank and side panels could almost be from a 21st century design. There?s a new subframe and seat unit, and Barracuda have replaced the F16/R15 mag wheels with bigger spoked hoops shod with Metzeler Karoo tires.

The cockpit is all new, with Barrucada bars and mirrors, and the standard rectangular headlight has been swapped out for a classic circular lamp with a compact wind deflector above.
It?s a quite remarkable transformation. If you can find an FZX750 going cheap in your local classifieds, and you’re an adept home builder, it?s a build you could replicate without breaking the bank. [Barracuda Moto]
