Cafe Racer #1

The internet is a fantastic place to find inspiration for bike designs.  This little Yamaha has the quintessential lines you'd expect in a stripped down cafĂ© racer.  The Ohlins rear suspension sure doesn't hurt either.

Betty #1

 
This is the first motorcycle to roll into the Zephyr garage.  She started life as a bone stock 2001 Kawasaki W650.  Follow the build on our Betty #1 page.

Origins

Motorcycles have been in my blood for as long as I can remember.  My dad got me hooked as a kid.  Ever since I was five and I first burnt my calves on the exhaust of his Suzuki GS850, I have had a passion for everything two wheeled.  Zephyr is the product of that passion.  Through Zephyr, I am striving to build bikes that harken back to my youth.  By taking old muscle and melding it with modern technology, Zephyr aims to produce air cooled fire breathing dragons.

Stay tuned...
