Suzuki SV650 Barry Sheene Tribute

Suzuki SV650 Barry Sheene Tribute by Espace Moto 95

This Suzuki SV650 is a tribute to British icon Bary Sheene. He was known for his bravado and hard-charging style and won over fans from around the world.

A competion, to customize the new SV650 in one of two styles: scrambler or cafe racer, was organized by Suzuki France.

The rules were simple: other than choosing one of the two styles, no modification could be permanent, meaning the motorcycle could be converted back to original form later if desired.

The winner of the contest, Espace Moto 95, incorporate elements of both and build a tribute bike to the late Barry Sheene.

The most obvious changes include the custom bodywork and paint job inspired by the RGA500, Sheene raced for Team Herron Suzuki. Other bits include the Leo Vince exhaust, license plate relocation bracket, Dunlop tires, repainted wheels, and other various ancillary pieces to make this whole project come together.
