Straight out of Japan xs650 cafe racer half-fairing

This Cool and original looking XS Belongs to Numa out of Japan. Numa sent a couple pictures of his bike in and then I e-mailed him back and asked if we could do a monthly feature on it. It was hard to communicate because neither of us could speak each other’s language. We used Google translator to talk back and forth a little bit and I was able to get a little bit of info on his bike.  So, I’ll try to sum up as best I can want Numa had to say about his new ride.

The bike was built by M/C UPPERが作りました.  It is sporting a crazy cool DUCATI 916 front half-fairing.  He is extremely happy with the way it turned out “I’m very happy.”

    Sweet bike, I like the paint and the half fairing looks pretty sick. The helmet/goggle combo is also nice… very Mad Max. Haha

    from what i gather it is a “omars” tank. google “omars street tracker” and you’ll find it.

    that isn’t a 916 fairing. it’s a fairing of a ducati sport classic.

    either way. awesome bike!

    Thank you for a lot of comment!

    firestone tires, pipes, small tank…
    this bike isn’t pure cafe racer.

    so people who like pure cafe racer may dislike this.

    but I love this bike & M/C UPPER’s works!

    Really love the Cafe-Racer/Mad Max mix style. A simple bike, with very good taste and looks.
