Not Mine! No one I know, either.

I think it's 'way-overpriced, but it looks like a thought-out build.

YAMAHA XV750 cafe racer - motorcycles/scooters - by owner - vehicle... 😱

It may be a coincidence, but I think I may have seen this in some bike mag recently. Pretty-sure the gas tank is from a Montgomery Wards 1960's Mojave 360 dual-purpose bike. That's a very distinctive shape. The basis for the build is the early 750cc V-twin w/the Monoshock frame. Later they went to a traditional twin-shock. This is the engine which can develop a starter issue requiring you to split the cases to fix it properly. If it has that 'box of rocks' sound at start-up, beware! There is a fix for it to keep it from happening again, but you have to fix it 'right' first (case-splittin' time). Pretty-sure I posted something about the XV750/920 starter issue before.
