We’re back with an extremely oddball selection: possibly the world’s ugliest MV Agusta, a Yamaha XSR700 homage to Claude Fior, a gorgeous Honda CB400 Super Four cafe racer and an absolutely monstrous BMW R1150R scrambler. Grab a coffee and let’s go.

But this new XSR700 from the Rotherham workshop is something radically different. It?s also proof that builders Shaun and Carl are no one-trick ponies.

The XSR700 is called ?Fior,? after fabricator and engineer Claude Fior?who designed a Yamaha XS1100 track bike for the Bol ...
