PROJECT BIKE TWO

Another practical eye-catcher from Valespeed is their ’tracker-ish take on the perennially popular XS650. Superficially the engine looks stock but inside lurks a 750 conversion from Dutch specialists, Heiden Tuning. The similarly stock-looking chassis has been subtly braced and the suspension uprated, while the 750 Virago tank, beautifully crafted exhaust system, handmade panel-work and custom seat distinguish this XS as a considerable cut above average.
