The foundation of this custom flat tracker is a Yamaha XT600 that underwent a complete transformation. Stripped down to its bare essentials, the motorcycle was reimagined with a minimalist approach.

A handcrafted subframe replaced the original, while the suspension was radically overhauled with shortened forks, upgraded internals, and a revised rear end. The bike’s appearance is equally stripped back, featuring a flat tracker handlebar, minimal instrumentation, and a complete absence of lights, reflecting its intended purpose as a dedicated race machine.

The heart of the motorcycle remains untouched, but its breath has been revitalized. A 3D-printed intake and a Zard exhaust system bookend the combustion process, culminating in a Spark muffler.

These modifications, while impressive, pale in comparison to the bike’s crowning glory: a mesmerizing monocoque frame. Merging the fuel tank, seat pan, and tail section into a single, polygonal unit, it’s a masterpiece of design.

A transparent front number board is the only other bodywork, and a custom Wild Hog seat, emblazoned with the moniker “Tweety,” completes the extraordinary transformation.
