Steve's R6

A mate of mine purchased this Yamaha R6 a while ago as a bit of a project, the bike had been dropped by the previous owner but structurally and mechanically still sound and had very low K's.

The original plan was to fix up the plastics, give it a new paint job, a quick tidy up and sell it off, but when do things ever go as planned...

The result of reading many US bike mags and having a very creative mind ended with the creation you see below. Why choose only 1 colour, when you could go with 2, split it down the middle and you could have people thinking you have 2 different bikes...
The R6 features a custom orange pearl Metallic on one side, and a Subaru pearl white on the other. Hand drawn pinstriping to add to the custom theme & there are also skull designs in the pearl but these are very hard to see, especially in photo's. Theres also a one off leather seat that has a patterned design derived from a soccer goal net of all things.. And last but not least a set of billet flame mirrors and clear flush mount LED indiscators to finnish it off.

Check it out, let me know what you think. The bike is also for sale, if you interested shoot me an email. jason@jngimages.com
