Crooked Yamaha XSR700

The Crooked Yamaha XSR700 is a striking one off build that celebrates the purity of riding through design, proportion, and craftsmanship. Known as the Crooked700, this Icon Line project reimagines Yamaha’s popular middleweight into a sculptural street tracker that puts the focus squarely on the perfect line of a motorcycle.

Built by Germany’s Crooked Motorcycles, the XSR700 was completely re engineered from back to front. A newly welded frame sets the foundation, paired with upside down forks, a Brembo braking system, Alpina spoked wheels, and CNC machined triple clamps. Every component was carefully chosen to reduce weight while improving handling and rider ergonomics.

The bodywork is where the Crooked700 truly stands apart. A handcrafted steel fuel tank is wrapped in a one piece fiberglass shell, forming a sleek and organic silhouette inspired by classic flat trackers. Details like the integrated taillight, pop up fuel cap, Alcantara seat, and custom LED headlight housing add refinement without distracting from the overall flow.

Performance remains a core part of the build. The lively parallel twin engine stays true to the XSR700’s reputation, now complemented by upgraded suspension, sharper brakes, and a custom exhaust system that enhances both sound and presence.

Bold, minimal, and unapologetically different, the Crooked Yamaha XSR700 is a design driven motorcycle built to be ridden, admired, and remembered.
