I like it too

I like it. Nice, simple, non flashy look. Should make a nice Urban Scrambler that hopefully won't get "nicked".

I prefer it over any of the Ducati Scramblers or the Giant Triumph Steve McQueen replicas. They are pretty but not worth it ... and the Triumph weighs a bloody Ton. That XT is pretty light to start ... and the builder made it even lighter :D

I'm sure the conversion cost the guy a fortune. Anyone care to guess?

One could skip a lot of what the Berlin guy did and simply do a rattle can paint job yourself, different tank and call it good. Maybe have a wheel shop lace up the 19", and live with the height? $800 pipe not required either, IMO.

My guess is owner could have purchased 3 old XT600's for what that custom job cost. It's ended up a cool bike, IMO ... but not sure I'd pay the money it must have cost. In San Francisco ... we call that a bearded Hipster Special! :rofl:

in milano it would be called the same!


still, quite rideable everyday for BHS ;)

I like it a lot, it’s purposeful, hey why not have something practical that looks good too. Could make an ace lightweight and stylish travel bike

Not big fan of scramblers but liked that engine is visible completely.
every time I had this light awkward feeling when covering top end with tank - think that this engine really looks nice and and it should be revealed time after time ( :

I like it except the boxy fuel tank.

I also consider this one as a better job, at least from the point of view of customization - more bold interventions & more work is done here.

this geisha made nearly a boner with one subtle detail, yellowish pair of engine mounting triangles under pale blue of tank :cool4: the crew knows its job.

True... you can clearly see the attention in detail...
