Speed Read: A retro-fabulous Yamaha WR155 scrambler and more



This week’s selection of custom bikes is all about the finishes. We have a Yamaha WR155 scrambler with a classic ‘speed block’ livery, a Honda CRF450 with art by a four-year-old, and a Hero Honda Hunk café racer with a livery inspired by single malt whiskey. Pier City Cycles brings it home, delivering a BMW R nineT with a paint job you could drown in.

Yamaha WR155 by Katros Garage With the enduring popularity of scramblers and trackers, it?s a wonder we haven?t seen more manufacturers building modern classics based on dirt bikes from their pasts. That may have been on the minds of the crew at Katros Garage when they created this stunning custom Yamaha WR155 scrambler.
The little Yamaha is an Indonesian favorite, but Katros was keen to get away from the modern, angular, plastic bodywork, in favor of something a little more classy.
Built for a customer who works for the lubricant company Ipone, the bike was inspired by the original Fantic Caballero 125 and the Yamaha XT500 Dakar bikes. It was made to be ridden too, with the customer requesting a scrambler that can commute and play with equal enthusiasm.
The WR155’s tubular steel frame has been draped in custom bodywork, all made in-house at Katros Garage. The classic-style tank, radiator covers, and side panels suit the bike perfectly, as do the custom seat and new fenders.

Amazingly, the frame has not been altered in any way. We don?t think the customer would ever want to go back to the stock...
