Yamaha XT 600E – “113” #31
Yamaha XT 600E – “113” #31
The bike is a Yamaha XT 600E from 1998, both bike and donor frame.
It wasn’t really a choice, it is a beloved bike that the owners know all too well and brought to us.
It’s a personal preference of his and hers since they had owned several XT’S and now have 2 of them.
Our design influence dates back to the 1970’s YZ’s and the Bultaco Pur Sang Enduro machines. Mixing a Yamaha vintage moto-cross look with the red on white colour scheme, sleek and long gas tank and the SIDE number plates with the enduro headlight number plate and rear fender tail light for road use.
The major work started by adapting a rather tall motorcycle to a small stature rider. Using the rear mono-shock from a lower stance 600cc road bike and changing the front rim from 21″ to 19″. Then we moved on and made the chassis usable by marrying the rear half with the front end and using a loop over the rear fender like the Yamaha CT-1 175 has. For the details we used Preston Petty plastic products, old style MX grips and oldie chrome controls similar to those used in the XT350 for lighting and what not. The finishing touch is a 70’s period correct Yamaha colour scheme, chrome handlebars, black leather shiny seat. Coming to an end is a 2 into 1 Arrow exhaust for a firm and deep single-cylinder thumper note.
