Inventor of the production line Henry Ford would have been jealous on former Bimota chief engineer Ascanio Rodorigo if the timing would have been better. This last has designed and created a unique motorcycle called Vyrus – an impressive achievement, no doubt about it – from (attention!) precisely 750 parts. In the video attached after the brake, you can watch the Italian engineer talk about the “craftsman’s studio” in which the Vyrus comes to life in less than three minutes. Don’t believe our word! It’s all in the video.

The Yamaha YZ450 is one of the best motocross bikes now around and little did we knew it can be adapted to a whole lot of riding conditions and even be turned into a 60’s style café racer if someone’s got the energy to undergo the demanding process of making a fact out of an innovative idea such as the oil-in-frame, just to give an example. The bike also features drilled engine plates and underseat pipe, but you’ll only notice that if you’re interested enough to look beyond the sleek fairing.

It is too bad we don’t have more information about this unique combination of style called YZ450 café racer as it was surely a bright idea and an exciting project.
