SR Hommage

One fine day, a friendly man from Yamaha knocked at our door and asked us to remodel a brand new SR 400. Because we are fond of Yamaha and tend to rebuild motorbikes every now and then, we were of course all for it!

Taking a motorcycle form the current SR 400 Yamaha collection, we wanted to build a bike that was going to be similar to the cherished XT series. As we recalled the good old days, when we were still young and beautiful and raced through the middle of nowhere, we wanted to pay homage to those days and to our darlings, such as the TT 500.

Due to a tight time constraint and with the idea of realizing our Hommage as uncomplicated as possible, we decided not to undertake any major surgical procedures.

The result of our SR 400 represents a modest Scrambler-like the XT Homage with a unique feel and a simple but distinct design. Although the SR is neither a rocket nor a bird of paradise, its coherent overall appearance and its relaxing feel while driving will guarantee love at second sight.
