Motoshop Tonouchi has done it again. After grabbing attention with their retro BMW-inspired Sportster custom, they’ve created one of the tastiest XS650-based bikes we’ve seen for a while. The ‘Heritage Special’ reprises the monochromatic look, with sleek, perfectly judged bodywork—note the lovely curved panels under the bobber seat. The frame modifications accentuate the chunky, 654cc parallel twin motor and the gently flared exhaust system adds a low-key elegance. Not surprisingly, Tonouchi’s latest XS650 has just been profiled in issue 4 of the Japanese metric custom magazine Another World of Chopper—and I’m prepared to bet it’ll start spreading fast on the

Sensibility be damned: this bobber has no front brake, no rear suspension and a suicide shifter. But just look at it. Like any self-respecting bobber, this Yamaha XS650 is an exercise in supreme minimalism. But the work goes far beyond just tossing random parts in the bin. It's a 1972 XS650, built by Justin Kagy and Kieran Thompson of FKKMOTO in their self-described 'garage shop' in Bloomington—a small town two hours south of Chicago. The project kicked off with the frame: Justin and Kieran removed the back half, and added in a Voodoo Vintage MK21 hardtail. That resulted in a

Roughly a year ago we featured a slammed 1982 Yamaha XS650, resplendent in an intricate gold paintjob. It was built by Taipei-based Mark Huang, who still has it and rides it regularly. He's since built another XS650 in the same Japanese street-bobber style—and it looks just as great. It was commissioned by a good customer and friend of Mark's, Gregory Wu. Mark had built an off-the-wall SR400 for Greg back in 2011, but the customized SR wasn't road legal in Taiwan, making it difficult to ride freely. So, Greg asked Mark to modify another bike for him—less radically this time.

I bought this bike as a project. Have done quite a bit to it besides internal motors. Most of hardware on here is from TC Bros or I have made myself. Next is Paint and powdercoat with some White Walls. While I have the motor out I am going to rebuild the top end with

Eastern Spirit Garage have mastered the art of building cafe racers. They nailed the formula when they broke onto the scene seven years ago—and have produced consistently good results since. But the Polish shop likes to break the mold once in a while, by deviating from their hallmark genre. Because, as shop boss Sylwester puts it, “it just gives us a lot of fun and challenges.” This latest project is the furthest thing, stylistically, from a cafe racer you can get: a bobber. But clearly Sylwester and co. have that look down pat too, because there's not a line out
