This is a fully rebuilt and custom-fabricated Yamaha XS850 resto-mod, built with a focus on performance, mechanical integrity, and vintage race-inspired design.
The motorcycle was completely disassembled and rebuilt from the ground up. The original 1976 XS 750 engine has been replaced with a strong-running XS850 engine from a 1981 donor, offering improved performance while maintaining the character of Yamaha’s classic triple platform.
The design emphasizes a clean, aggressive café racer silhouette, anchored by a one-piece hand-fabricated aluminum tail section and a cohesive Royal Blue finish with period-inspired striping. This is not a typical cosmetic build—function and rideability were the priorities throughout.
