Yamaha’s Yard Built programme in 2017 kicked off with one… or rather two excellent builds from Winston Yeh of Rough Crafts Taipei.
Two XSR700 Custom Moto Kits
The trusty XSR700 from Yamaha’s Sports Heritage range was used as the base. With strict adherence to the Yard Built programme’s policy of zero cutting or welding of the frame, Rough Customs has created two custom kits, The Corsa Scorcher and the Soil Scorpion.
One kit takes the form of a slick cafe racer/street bike and the other a hard-knock, off-road-ready, scrambler.
Corsa Scorcher
Both bikes were put through their paces in their native environments by Ross Sharp from ‘The Bike Shed’. Check out the video below and see the full in-depth write-up on TheBikeShed.cc
