A show stopping Yamaha GTS 1000 from Italy, a neo-retro Yamaha XT250 from Australia, and a very slick body kit for the BMW R nineT from France.

Yamaha XT250 by Deus ex Machina The Deus Swank rally is a light-hearted off-road event that combines ?vintage motorcycles, fancy dress and a can-do attitude.? So when Yamaha asked Deus Australia to build a bike that would embody the Swank spirit, head wrench Jeremy Tagand picked the XT250. After all, it might only be a small, air-cooled single?but it’s capable and bulletproof too.

Jeremy swapped the XT’s 21? front wheel for a 19? unit, and then wrapped both wheels in Dunlop K180 dirt track tires. The suspension was left alone, but the upper triple clamp was swapped out for a CNC-machined arrangement from Ricci Engineering, so that the crew could install Renthal fat bars. For the bodywork, Deus shaped up a new flat tracker-style tailpiece, then trimmed the OEM side covers to fit with it. The tank covers are stock, but the front fender and classic square headlight are from Acerbis.

The only ‘engine’ mod is a new exhaust?a stainless steel header pipe, paired with an SC Project muffler. Sydney Custom Spray Painting handled the paint, which mimics the original colors, with a few tasteful changes. The ‘Xtreme 250’ looks cute, capable, and the perfect blueprint for Yamaha to design a 250 cc neo-retro dirt bike with. [More]
