The Yamaha Scorpio 225 is a staple in
the diet of the custom bike in Indonesia. Easy to work with, reliable
and carrying that thumper note, it has made many a solid platform for a
custom ride. These days, most seem to end up as cafe racer, scrambler,
bratstyle or tracker. Same this one, this 2008 Yamaha Scorpio 225 was
built with something new look – a vintage looking street tracker with
upgraded components. Built for our customer outside Jakarta, this bike
has been built for kicking up dust and enjoy for daily riding.
This is THE SOOTY that we built from one of popular motorcycle in
Indonesia, the result is a bike that spares no coolness, and an owner
that now has no spare time thanks to his newfound biking obsession.
The suspension sector is the first step
we did, we changed the original front fork with 41mm telescopic from
Yamaha Byson. TK Japan 18X2.50 inch wheel combined with Firestone Deluxe
Champion 4.00-18 tire, were choose to complete the front. At the rear,
we made custom swing arm using 1.25” seamless pipe and changed mono
shock suspension to dual shock suspension. For this, we put 360 mm YSS
Z-Series rear shock. TK Japan 18X3.00 inch rim was selected to be mated
with 4.50X18 Firestone Deluxe Champion tire. “Well, from the beginning I
was prefer to use that kind of wheels, to emphasize the ‘classic’
line…”. Here comes the bodywork, a boxy-gas tank with a minimalist style
made from 1.2 mm galvanized material plate to be the main body,
fenders, and side cover. After the bodywork was done, Komet Studio made
his move! We choose mate black from Sikkens and decorated with a gold
and silver simply line, The Yamaha was prettify the side tank.
Completing the last project, fatbar handlebar was selected to provide
‘the enjoyment of riding’. The Lights was attached to the main shape.
‘Masterpiece-custom’ exhaust was selected to drag up the classic theme
with a strong sound.
We states that modify this bike with the
purpose of earning our customers satisfaction and pride. We can safely
assume, we have done that with this build. So….please welcome “THE
SOOTY”.
