Regular's Rides: Mai's Yamaha XS650
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2018
- Mai brought her XS650 into the Shed last week. The bike was designed by Mai, and built with help from Skate Interiors. The finishing touch - a scorpion sealed onto the tank.
Mai is one of the three founders of VC London, a women's riding collective. VC London ladies nights are held here every first Wednesday of the month at The Bike Shed, 384 Old Street, London, EC1V 9LT

This is a beautifully made chopper. So many good decisions on the build. Love rear end with full length sissy bar and the way the exhaust pipes rise up at the same angle. Superb.
thats just what i wa going to say till i saw yours yea killer
I just can't get over that pipes. It's so clean and blends in with whole Design.
Hats off my lady. We need more girls like you
calm down thirsty pajeet
@@ragimundvonwallat8961 you. I like you
fucking simp
Come and work in a uk blue collar job you'll meet plenty
m'lady.
This has to be one of the best bikes I've seen on this channel. An absolute beauty 👍
Probably the best 650 Yam chopper I've ever seen, love it!
One of the nicer bikes I've seen on this channel!
Agreed
XS650 engine shape is exceptional..
Very beautiful and simple
It is a much more reliable copy of the Triumph parallel twin. They have a roller bearing crankshaft to go with their lack of a rev limiter and course mesh screen as an oil filter. Some can not live with the engine vibration, and others get used to it. I was fine with it at 60 mph, not so happy at 105 mph. Also the heat coming up from the air cooled engine roasts you at stoplights in the summer. I now have 2 liquid cooled engines, a 600cc Honda V-twin with about 30 horsepower, and a 600cc Kawasaki inline-4 with about 90 horsepower. I enjoy one on most Saturdays and the other on Sundays.
First street bike I ever rode was my Dad's 1981 XS650. When I was even younger my dad and I would get on it and go on weekend trips which were some of my best childhood memories. This is what started it all for me and now I've got my own Yamaha's an FZ6 and an MT-09 (not as classic but a total beast of a bike). Yamaha's rule!!!
That's beautiful. Love the lines and the scorpion is a nice touch.
Nicely thought out and well built bike, Mai seems to enjoy it and rides it like it’s meant to be , well cool
So many small details bring together a coherent bike, Mai. My favourites from yours are (in order) 1. frame / tank / mudguard / battery box being the same light colour. 2. The pipes kicking up at the same angle as the chainstays. Would love to do an xs650 or 750 next (albeit each lending themselves to very different outcomes in my head). Great result, you must be the envy of your mates!
Sweet bike!
Amazing Bike, I have a goal of having a Chopper and a cafe racer one day, Cafe Racer is what brought me to this channel but Bikes like these are finding there way in the garage of my soul.
Sweet!! Love the clean lines of the bike...great job 😊
Nice, nice ,nice. Very lean and simple. The bike matches the scorpion perfectly. Great job all around.
These bikes are so damn fun to build, I have a 79 xs . Full ground up build. Springer front end and custom hardtail.. almost finished with the build. Going big bore on it. Bad ass, her chop looks great, period correct, fresh out of the 70’s chopper
What an amazing person. I was just thinking about a resin cast back hump on cafe racer build. Now I know how I'm going to fill out a small dent in the tank. You rock
Lucky you ! Fantastic looking and amazing sounding bike!
Just a little jealous.
Blown-away by these videos.
Gorgeous the both!!!!! 😉🤘
That's a nice bike! Congrats on the build, very sharp.
Very cool ride, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Looks pretty nice and the white painting fits perfect to the drivers hair 😁👌
The exhaust sound is amazing.
Love the Scorpion nice touch 👍
Very cool bike. You got my thumbs up also. Great job the way it turned out. Ride safe and have a good Saturday.
Beautiful lines on that bike, looks badass
The sound is irresistable
Nice bike!! Running a classic tire setup makes the bike really. Very clean indeed!
Super nice chop.
Beautiful bike. Nice work
looks great
I like Mia,as well. Cute,and humble. A nice way to present the build.
I love the 'Old Skool' look Choppers and Bobbers
Sweet, really like those upswept pipes. Sounds good too.
I like the style of the bike and it suits you symmetrically well. Very nice
Nice job! Sounds great.
That bike is on point 100%
Great bike it was my first commute bike back-and-forth to work and school
wow really cool to see these women getting into custom bikes,respect xxx
Gorgeous bike 🤘
SO GOOD!
Nicely done. It doesn’t matter what a bike looks like or how it’s equipped, as long as it’s ridden and loved.
Great build!
Lovely bike top marks!
Sick !! Good Job 👏
The intro music is AMAZING.

The white color gives it a very unique style.
Beautiful motorcycle art. Couldn't imagine how my back and kidneys would be after riding that bike more than 10 miles at a time.
Very nice bike!
Sweet little chop... 👍👌
Great ! Beautiful!!!
Wow.thats one epic Yamaha..looks on in awe..😮
Love this bike...
That seat is impeccable!
Nice ride. Glad you kept the exhaust right where it landed. It is slick there. Love the way you pronounce yamaha. 👍
Great choice of bike to convert I owned and luved my XS650 great engine and motorcycle in general. also handled great , hope you were able to keep that in your hard tail conversion . Bravo SIS looks awesome
Very nice ,and that bike.
That's a beautifully made chopper, greetings from the Netherlands
that stealth ignition is SICK!!! great bike!
This bike is sick!!
Great build, it's beautifull
I like it. Beautiful bike
Sounds great
I LOVE your bike! The fact that you helped with the design and build is really impressive. I'm not say this because you are a lady, girls can build choppers as well as any man. However, you are one of the few that does build. I wish you much success and ride free! :)
Nice putt really dig the pipes!
That exhaust pipe is absolutely perfect!!!!
Yes oh yes
Beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous...
YOU GO GIRL!! Mine is an '82 Bobber with solo seat and Wide Glide rear fender, gloss black with metallic royal blue wings on the tank. "Little Wing"
Very nice machine
Oh man!
Its reminiscent of my stingray bicycle when I was a kid! Frickin love it!
Radar 211, I had a Schwinn Lemon Peeler when I was a kid, so I know about your Sting Ray!!!!
such a nice bike
This is very cool. My first bike was a '72 XS650.
Awesome bike 🏍
Very nice.
Always wanted a cruiser but never wanted a Harley.
But THIS! Looks sickkkk!
i am mai and this is mai bike. nice bike tho i dont like those type of old bikes (choppers, bobbers, i dont know what to call them) one bit but this one is aesthetically very well done. i really love everything how its so simple and not all chromed and super corny.
Clean ...
Really like that tight rear tire and fender combo
absolutely perfect XS. love it
That's a nice bike, not over the top yet different 👍👍🏁🏁🏁
love it
I fell in love with the XS650 back when AWOL magazine was giving a red chopped one away back in the early 90s. You get the basic air cooled, unit construction, vertical twin like a classic Brit bike, but with Japanese price amd reliability. I'd love one with lowered rear shocks, solo seat, forward controls, updated carbs/exhaust/cam/ignition, some mild head work, and a big bore 750 kit. (I'm a big boy, at over 300lbs, so it's not just for insane speed!)
Great bike
Thats gorgeous
Love the scorpion
Very cool
I can tell she is a very creative graphic designer from the beautiful machine she created.
Very nice
