Premium Member bornagainbiker Posted January 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yamaha XS-V1 Sakura: Another concept from 2007’s bumper crop was Yamaha’s XS-V1 Sakura, which illustrated just how good a retro-styled twin could look in the 21st century. Only now, years later, are bikes like Triumph’s latest Bonneville derivatives starting to get on board with some of the neo-retro elements displayed on the Sakura. Check out details like that cast aluminium – or cast aluminium-effect – side panel, which so perfectly matches the finish of the engine cases. Or that LED headlight, which combines an old-school shape with futuristic detailing. The air-cooled, DOHC twin-cylinder engine, purpose-made for the Sakura, was also a nice touch.

Beemer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 IDK, that color and that mix match of styles, cruiser/café. Probably a decent ride, though. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about the colour and styling, but it shows potential, at least as a starting point.
