Media sourced from BikeEXIF.Coverage from BikeEXIF shows off a machine blessed with an aluminum frame, in which the air-cooled, 654cc, parallel-twin engine becomes a stressed member.* Suspension is carried out in the form of Honda’s floating duties for the CBR600RR at the front, an Ohlins monoshock at the rear, and a handmade, one-off swingarm to keep with the supersport aesthetic (and that sharp twin pipe with slash-cut silencers).* A Yamaha XS650 retro racer from the mind of Simone Conti. Media sourced from BikeEXIF.As for the fairing work, we’ve been given a one-two treat. Conti purportedly took inspo from the bodywork of an MT-03 and that of Yammie’s iconic R1, merging the two together in a zinger of a package that bespeaks the aggressive styling of both products.* Of course, no superbike-esque build would be complete without the presence of carbon fiber.
