Spotted this great Yamaha R5 "Giant Killer" custom on Garage Project motorcycles. After a bit of digging all I managed to find was an extra photo but no details about the builder other than the name "Atom Motorcycles".

This beautiful creation was built by an Italian shop based in Rome called Emporio Elaborazioni (EE). It was started by a graphic designer, a mechanic and a silversmith who all shared a love of custom motorcycles. This brutal bike is nicknamed th...]]> http://www.pipeburn.com/home/rss-comments-entry-14855518.xml 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheReturnOfTheCafeRacers/~3/or6Ykt4Zk8c/yamaha-xt600-cafe-racer.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheReturnOfTheCafeRacers/~3/or6Ykt4Zk8c/yamaha-xt600-cafe-racer.html#comments Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:15:00 +0000 Return of the Cafe Racers
Nothing beats a hand me down especially when it's in the form of a motorcycle. When Christian was given his Dad's old Yamaha XT600Z Ténéré he knew it wasn't going to stay standard for long.

Here's a great segment from the cutting room floor of Cafe Racer TV. In this online episode they reveal the background work that goes in to each road test performed on the show.

If you could pick any city on earth to settle down and customise bikes in, we think it's a safe bet that Singapore wouldn't be at the top of many lists. In a similar fashion to Hong Kong, Singapore has very little tolerance for vehicular modific...]]> http://www.pipeburn.com/home/rss-comments-entry-14441769.xml 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheReturnOfTheCafeRacers/~3/FDWeXhfwlEQ/custom-yamaha-sr500-rb-racing.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheReturnOfTheCafeRacers/~3/FDWeXhfwlEQ/custom-yamaha-sr500-rb-racing.html#comments Thu, 08 Dec 2011 07:41:00 +0000 Geoff Baldwin
If you happen to be near The Dues Ex Machina store in Camperdown Sydney this week a quick visit is definitely in order. They just taken delivery of this very tidy Yamaha SR500 Cafe Racer built by the guys at RB Racing.

Last week at the Sydney Motorcycle Show this stunning Samurai caused quite a commotion when it was unveiled to the public. At first glance you might think it's been built by Zero Engineering; the creators of this Samurai style bobber, but when you ta...]]> http://www.pipeburn.com/home/rss-comments-entry-13955468.xml 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheReturnOfTheCafeRacers/~3/-W3RkFqLL3w/monday-motorcycle-blues.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheReturnOfTheCafeRacers/~3/-W3RkFqLL3w/monday-motorcycle-blues.html#comments Mon, 05 Dec 2011 11:35:00 +0000 Geoff Baldwin
I'm back on the W650 again!

When I think about Bobbers my mind conjures up images of cruising along a winding coastal road, sitting comfortably atop a lumpy twin or thumper and being in a relatively relaxed state.

When the Yamaha Virago was released back in my high school days it was commonly referred to as a "girls bike".  This was primarily due to the fact that the 250cc version was most common in my state and also because of it's cruiser styling.
