This week we?ve got a smokin? hot XSR155 in John Player colors from West Java, Harley?s cool and classy Electra Glide Revival, and a Moto Guzzi eBay bargain. Plus a brief appreciation of Dick ?Bugsy? Mann, who passed away last Monday.
Yamaha XSR155 by Glanets MC In the west, the Yamaha Yard Built program has focused on middleweight customs?usually based on twins and triples like the XSR700 and XSR900.
Yamaha Indonesia has its own version of the program though, and focuses on the smaller bikes in the range, such as the XSR155. It?s a compact and perky single based on the MT15 sport naked, and more in line with tastes and budgets in Southeast Asia.
This racy little custom is one of the highlights of the latest round of Indonesian builds. It comes from Purnama Sultan Glanets, who runs a workshop in Bandung, West Java and has tremendous metal-shaping skills. He?s called his XSR ?Reborn Cafe Racer? and completed it in just four months. The fully-faired bodywork is all new, aside from the tank, and the four-piece fairing is vented to keep air flowing to the engine. Clip-on bars accentuate the ?neo café? theme.
The new tail unit segues perfectly with the stock tank, and is fully enclosed underneath too. And that paint ? unlike the tired old Gulf Oil cliché, the F1 John Player Special livery still has legs. And it looks just superb here. [Via]
