Zero cafe racer Tribute to Zero Engineering Build in Haaksbergen the Netherlands

This is my ride.
An Yamaha XV750 made in 81, rebuild 2008.
Sharp steering and bad brakes, i just love to race it.
Top speed nearly 190 kmph.
Its a f....... fast racer.

The true "Aesthetics of speed" Great proportions and balance between the big tyres/engine and the little tank, in perfect line with the handlebar...
And the way you take pictures of her, I see you love her!
Only one brake disc for a top speed of 190 KPH, that is real art!

Oh by the way, in the forum!

So at last you get the Yamaha back on the right track , from chopperstyle cruiser into a mean clean rocker machine

Way to go

what great looking bike.....

Damn, this one looks nice! What an improvement on the original bike!

Klopt het nu dat je deze te koop hebt

Jammer hoor , is een echt mooie fiets

Really nice caferacer combination tank, tyre, engine rocks. A real mean machine

Reminds me of the 'Deus ex Machina' café racers from Australia ( the small tank ), You must visit this site, some great bikes!

Hi Sacha, and welcome to the forum. This is a great forum for hints and tips on cafe racers and I'm sure you'll pick up lots of pointers here.
Don't forget to introduce yourself in the ''New Member'' section. That way we can get to know you.

Hi Zero...
Nice to have XV guy on board.

It will be good to see what u have in mind to upgrade the front brake,
maybe modern Braided line/ full floater / muli pot caliper ??

Maybe change the whole front end...

Did u engineer the rear wheel to the front ?? are u happy with the set-up ??
And maybe if you feel to talk about what was done with the motor if anything...
Such a great Donk those Yammie twins are so strong.

Hopefully you the talkative type...
so many post pic but that's about it !!

is that a saddle seat under the cafe seat or just some kinda pad?

If I'm not mistaken this bike was feautured in last months (may) Big Twin magazine. If the builder doesn't respond here it might be usefull to try and get a copy of that edition. I didn't read the story, so I don't know how much information was given, but it covered a couple of pages.

I'm going to send him an e-mail.
