A Ducati Monster hot-rodded to within an inch of its life, a Yamaha SR250 so clean it looks like a Photoshop render, and proof that the modern Honda CB1100 can look as good as the slinkiest CB750 cafe racer.

Yamaha SR250 by Free Spirit Motorcycles Did you think the images of this incredibly clean SR250 were renderings" I certainly did. It?s just so impeccably put together (and shot) that you doubt human hands have ever touched it. But they have, and they were the hands of Slavo Danko and his son, Matus, from Slovakia?s Free Spirit Motorcycles.
The 1981 SR250 that found its way onto Slavo?s bench was in well-kept shape. But regardless, the bike was completely stripped. The factory subframe has been binned and a new hooped unit installed, with an LED brake/taillight integrated rear and center. The saddle sitting atop that tubing is crafted from a piece of vintage hide that Slavo stitched together using an old industrial sewing machine, and the grips and gorgeous key fob come from the same heifer.
The tank is the original Yammie unit, but it?s been massaged to deliver the shape you see here. The streamlined bodywork adorning ?Primus? is all crafted from 1.5mm aluminum and is a masterclass in shaping and weld work. And speaking of weld work, check out that exhaust! If you can find a seam, you?ve got much better peepers than I. Not bad for a first time effort. [More]
