XS650 StreetRACER

A new project is in the works here in the StreetKORE Garage. I’ve run out of catchy names at the moment and I don’t want to put some obligatory classification on it that really doesn’t fit. Frankly, I’m over that crap anyway. For now, it’s being dubbed the StreetRacer. It’s a little bit fighter, a little bit cafe, but mostly it’s a whole bunch of cool wrapped up in something that vaguely resembles a Yamaha XS650. And that’s good enough for now.
