This
Yamaha XV950 D-Side
comes from Deus Ex Machina in Italy, and is a custom
project based on the XV960 cruiser, or the Star Bolt, as it is
marketed in the USA.
This machine is inspired from both the boat world and
the Belle Epoque, hence the edgy, yet mellow lines, the use of
wood and ample shapes. Deus used their own aluminium tank and
fenders, while employing a custom-built rear subframe to raise
the seat to a higher position. Alcantara leather upholstery adds
a particularly cool note to the bike, too.
Custom Deus
handcrafted aluminium air intake and an SC-Project exhaust
system are also added, as well as motocross
handlebars and an aftermarket Motogadget speedo.
The surfboard rack between the bike and the sidecar is also
optional. Customers can order both the full
sidecar kit or the bike-only. Since not everybody
is a fan of sidecars, allowing customers to transform their
Yamaha XV950, but retain the two-wheeled thrills.
