Motorcycle preparation: Yamaha XJR1300 Rhapsody in blue by Keino

After Wrenchmonkees, Deux Ex Machina and Marcus Waltz, it is the turn of the talented Japanese trainer Keinosuke Sasaki to participate in the preparation program. From his New York workshop, "Keino" set about radically transforming the aging XJR1300 – we say "vintage" to be trendy! – in a splendid motorcycle with sleek lines.
Almost everything has been changed from the original model, making this "XJR1300 Rhapsody in Blue" practically unrecognizable. Significantly thinner, the in-house tank now allows you to see the cylinder heads of the large air-cooled 4-cylinder when the pilot takes place on the long padded saddle.
The routing of the exhaust pipes is also completely redesigned and ends with short exits in the high position, Scrambler style. The minimalist rear shell, mounted on a buckle designed by Keino, accommodates a position light from an English MG sports coupe.
The front is not left with a small round headlight mounted in the extension of the spring providing the damping function of the unconventional front axle. Classy and inspired: at MNC, we are a fan of the process and the result !
