Hookie Yamaha XSR700

Yamaha’s incredibly successful Yard Built program consists of renown customisers from around the world providing inspirational ideas on how to transform modern Yamaha models. Customers can then buy the kits and build their own custom bike. Dresden-based motorcycle shop Hookie Co have rolled out this gorgeous transformation of a Yamaha XSR700 that they named "Grasshopper". The ruggedly futuristic build takes its design cues from modern motocross and flat track bikes. The bolt-on kit features a custom-tailored aluminum fuel tank, a new aluminum seat rail portion, unique translucent yellow acrylic pieces lit by LEDs, and three gorgeous rear illuminated fins that incorporate the brake light, taillight, and turn signals. Hookie Co. plans on a production run, with this this specific setup available for purchase for your own modification endeavors.
