This is the first video, about my Yamaha XS 650 project.
The talented mechanic Leonel, owner of Oficina das Motas, finally got some time to start the building process.
On this video, I explain my design approach, and also most of the parts I bought so far.
But I also present good tips to help you with your own shopping on the Internet.
Most of the motorcycle parts presented on this video, were bought on the "Kickstarter Classics" Website( www.kickstarte...)
I hope you enjoy the video.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English.
Here is a link to the "Kickstarter Classics" Website: www.kickstarte...

Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Celebrating my 59th birthday watching racer tv awesome
Congratulations my friend. :) Cheers.
This is the best auto voice assistant I ever heard.
Almost sounds real
Indeed. Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Esperamos ansiosamente o 2 episódio 🙌🏼👌🏼
Fico bastante orgulhoso e feliz por saber que este canal é português. Somos bons a tudo! Obrigado
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Sir i can not thank you enough for your videos you are my inspiration being an Englishman of the cafe racer era now living in America parts acquisition was a little problem but the information in this video has been priceless thank you so much and i wish you well with this project as always God-bless you and stay safe in these difficult times 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. I am glad by knowing that this video was very useful for you. :) Cheers.
Man you definitely have vision, I can wait to see it completed. Love your videos they keep me inspired, I’m 66 years old and finally got my own cafe racer a 1982 Honda CB450T. Keep up your good work, life is short let’s live it to it’s fullest.
Thank you Sir for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Over the years I've owned many motorcycles, including a Norton 850 Commando and a Yamaha XS 650. Your description between the two is spot on. The choice of the Peashooter exhaust will be perfect for this project. I am definately looking forward to following this project, and I'm absolutely sure that the end product will be worth the wait! Just remember it's the journey, not the destination...
Thank you my friend for sharing your personal and very important perspective. It is rare to find a person who has owned these 2 motorcycles. :) Cheers.
Looks amazing so far. Memories of a long time ago. My Yamaha XS650 special and my Buddy's 750 Norton when stationed at NAS North Island 1975-78.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Bravo..! Thank you my good man. Thank you for providing me with an escape from the daily negative issues going on in today's world. Your passion for motorcycles keeps me sane.
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Sir i am an Artist and your ideas have taught me alot about Art! I always watch your videos but i always focus on your ideas and advices more than the content! I am proudly inspired by you! I will always look forward to learn from you!
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.
All the parts shown should definitely build an awesome cafe racer 🤞
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Very nice choices! You are building a classic machine. I know you will enjoy the end result. And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Ride safe my friend! Cheers......
Thank you my dear friend for your kind comment. To be honest, I think this XS will end up even better than my Honda CX. :) Cheers.
RACER TV ..... your CX is certainly a very beautiful bike. I hope you keep both, you will enjoy them for many years. Cheers...
I loved the ending of the video . She lives !!! 🏍😃 And everyone has a silly smile 😆 👍.
Loool. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
There is nothing quite as thrilling, as getting ones teeth stuck into a fresh project. It's exciting!
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. I'm glad you liked :) Cheers.
Always such a pleasure watching a build like this. I'm very exited...
The XS 650 brings back memories.
Sir,Your Explanation is Top Notch... Excellent videos
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Another new beginning. Excellent. I'm sure I'm not nearly the only one with pleased anticipation of how this will unfold in the time to come. Let me wish you the best of luck on this project.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Racer, I haven'^t even finished watching the video yet, but I just had to interrupt to tell you how excited I am about your project! It's gonna be awesome!!!
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. Personally, I think this project is going to be even more beautiful than my Frankenstein. :) Cheers.
Yes. Fantastic project. and very decisive. I love the idea of the new website. Thank you.
I am already looking forward to seeing the project finished. Cheer up.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
I love this guy. He sounds like a villain from a James Bond film; I'm sure he has a swimming pool with sharks in it and a button he presses at the dining table where unwanted guests fall through a trap door.
Looking forward to seeing how this project goes.
Lol. Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Good to hear you're building another cafe racer of your own again. Can't wait to see the progress of this project in your next episode. That twin parallel engine will surely give us the thunder sound came out from that already amazing peashooter vintage exhaust.
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. I'm glad you liked :) Cheers.
Tenho uma Honda 1982, gosto bastante dela! Também é minha única moto, e tenho ela a 20 anos.
Mas, tudo que você falou sobre a Yamaha, para mim sempre foi verdade! A Yamaha sempre foi inovadora, agora inclusive irá lançar uma moto turbo! Uma solução oposta de toda a indústria que está aumentando a cilindrada. E eu sinto que a Yamaha faz o que o público quer com uma mecânica muito confiável! Quero terminar a minha Honda CB400 para poder me dedicar a um projeto com uma Yamaha! Parabéns e ansioso pela conclusão de mais esse projeto. Obrigado por ter essa aspiração, pois assim satisfaz os nossos desejos... Abraços!!
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. Sem duvida que a Yamaha sempre desenvolveu as suas motos a pensar no prazer de condução e na fiabilidade. :) Um abraço.
Mine will be done with in the next week or so would love to share it with you when it's finished. The xs is a great bike and the engines are bullet proof. Thanks for sharing
With your eye and attention to detail and Leonel at the helm of the tool bin, this too is going to be an incredible motorcycle. Looking forward to following along! Cheers! Zip~
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Yes! I would agree with "finally" it continues. Really curious to see what you are going to present in the next episodes. I also own a XS 650 and love to see different styles. Go on feeding us with your projects - thumbs up. Love it
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Your videos always have a trance relaxing quality, while at the same time, are exciting. Thanks for the update.
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV Hi! Would love to know where your shop is in Portugal.
Building my own project for the first time so would be wonderful to exchange some thoughts. Appreciated! Jorge
I love your videos and the Yamaha XS is great objekt to start with. 👍
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Ah, the little laught at the end... I don't know how explain. I'm different. Your channel is different, gets to me like a glove. Well done Sir ...
Lol. Yes, the laugh was mine. Yes, the laugh was mine. I don't know why, but this my usual reaction when I found for the first time, that own motorcycle sounds really good. Thank you my friend for your kind comment and for your support.. :) Cheers.
A great behind the scenes videos. Thank you!
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
Chief! Thank you for the advice in the projects of acquisition of parts, this new format is awesome, keep going, keep evolving, keep being yourself! See ya.

Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.

*Segundo projeto...que show! Com certeza entrará na lista das 10 mais*
Obrigado amigo Fernando. Sinceramente, acho que esta XS ainda vai ficar mais bonita do que a minha honda CX 650. :) Um abraço.
oh i am really excited for the next notification on how the project is going to get going, kudos and congratulations. Love the tyres
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
this will be a badass fun series !
Hello Ichiban. Nice to see you here again. Thank you for your badass opinion. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV I'm still waiting for the XS650
Como as Triton e as Vincati, surge em pleno 2020 uma "Normaha" ou "YamaTon", digna de ser uma das Café Race mais lindas, e de muitas exposições vitoriosas!! Parabéns!!
Gostei do YamaTon!!! Voto nele para o concurso do batismo!
Obrigado amigo pelas sugestões. Por acaso já tinha um outro nome de baptismo em mente. Mas isso irá ficar para o futuro video. :) Um abraço.
Lol. Curiosamente, de todos os nomes, também gostei mais do "YamaTon". :)
mucha suerte con tu proyecto Racer, y que hermoso taller para trabajar en el !
Obrigado por participar está experiência
Parece navidad a mitad del año, que emoción abrir esa caja y tener en tus manos cada artículo. Te deseo suerte en tu proyecto. Sin duda una bella moto
Excellent i can hardly wait, thank you for the fantastic video.....
Olá Victor! Espetacular vídeo! Uma aula de história, bom senso e excelente bom gosto! Estamos todos ansiosos pela evolução do projeto! Como sempre, parabéns, e sucesso! Forte abraço!
Muito obrigado amigo Paulo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Vc por aqui também Paulo Sérgio "Mel", tenho algo que vc não vai acreditar. Abraço
We have been waiting for one year!!! It's time for episode 2 come on with it!!!!!
It's always interesting and mind blowing to watch your videos.. the tiny details, the geometry, every aspect to produce a fantastic machine... Big fan...👏👏👏👍
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV always pleasure, my friend... Might I inquire, is there progress going on, in the project??? Because I think it's rude to ask that "when" it will complete...
Lol. Unfortunately, Leonel is still very busy lately, and the project is still on the same spot. Let's hope that during the following moths, the XS project could go on as I imagined.:) Thank you my friend for your support.
@@RACER_TVvery kind and best wishes for the project and future endeavors, my friend... 👍🙂
Very nice, this Motorcycle going to be one of the best and beatifull Cafe Race of the world in this year, and maybe, next year too!!
Parabéns, vc tem um dom muito especial que é a "Visão" ou "Visagismo". Tudo que olha analisa o quê poderia ser melhorado. Parabéns novamente, tenho certeza que será uma Café digna de muitas exposições vitoriosas!!
Resido no Brasil, e aqui se encontra muito facilmente as Honda CB 450cc. Eu particularmente gostaria de fazer uma réplica das Norton Manx dos anos 1950, com o depósito idêntico até na cor ( cinza ou cromo). E o seu vídeo me faz muito feliz, pois seria como uma realização de um sonho pra mim.
Grande abraço e obrigado pelos seus ótimos vídeos!!!🙏🙏🙏
Olá Amigo Pierre. O seu comentário acertou em cheio no alvo. Disse precisamente aquilo que estou a tentar fazer. Ver tudo o que uma mota dos anos 60 tinha, e que poderia ter sido melhorado. Obrigado. Fico contente que tenha gostado. Boa sorte para o seu futuro projecto. :) Um abraço.
Thanks for a very enjoyable video, maybe it's just me but I hear the influence of Matt Berry in your intonation, love it
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Education as always RACER tv brilliant thanks
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Oh Racer, esas dimensiones, proporciones y posturas entusiasman para ver el proximo episodio !!! Esperamos el proximo capitulo (que sea rapido kkkkkk) Felicitaciones !!!!
Gracias Amigo. Saludos. :)
I'm hoping this project finishes soon so that you're torn between selling either your Honda CX650 or this newly developed XS650. Whichever one you decide to sell, I'd like to be the first to offer you a very handsome amount for either one. Of course you should keep both, but remember who asked you first in case you decide to part with one.
I'll second that offer.
Lol. Well let's see how things are going to happen. To be honest, it is extremely hard from me to sell anything I have. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV I do wish it was a 533 engine that can be rephased to 270/90 engine and displace as large as 880 ccs. Like a Norton 850 that sounds like your V Hondas only meaner. I know that you have likely completed it, but maybe you could revisit it. The European version of the XS 650 has a very strong crankshaft and can easily be split and rephased by moving the right side forward 3 splines on the pin for a 277/83 with a weld and rebalance or there are crankshaft spline pins (pricey) that you can make it exactly 270/90 like your Hondas or the new Bonnevilles, either way Heidens sells a set of cylinders bored with 87 mm bores and deeper fins. Just a thought. I wish that I had a 533 engine from Europe here in the USA. I would love to build an 880 cc XS2 reinforced of course but the XS2 is the definition of perfection with just a few modifications. I was newly married 40 years ago and my wife loved riding 2 up on the country roads around us. It is a great memory for us both. Me being the hot rodder I am can never get enough power! 😂
Parabéns !! Começo desta forma, encontrei este video/projeto, e vou adorar seguir ate ao fim. Também iniciei um projeto já pré-feito de uma TX 750 de 1973, estou prestes a concluir. Reparo de que a Xs 650 é muito idêntica.
Abraço
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. Actualmente o processo de construção está ainda em standby. Mas acredito que brevemente terei novidades para apresentar. :) Um abraço.
Belo projeto, Yamaha + Norton = Yamaton, vai ficar muito bonita, Parabéns pela moto e obrigado por continuar a compartilhar conhecimento, sucesso 😁👍
Lol. Curiosamente, Você já é a 2~pessoa a sugerir o nome "YamaTon". Obrigado amigo pelo apoio :) Um abraço.
@@RACER_TV hahahaha já que existe Tryton por que não uma Yamaton, estou no aguardo dos novos vídeos sucesso
I am so excited for this one! I love your work.
Good choice for a café racer project!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Parabéns pelo projeto. Aguardando o episódio 2!!! Abs.
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
I can't wait to see the final product
I just want my 447 back. Mucho Gusto, La piu Bella Macchina, I love that bike!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Saludos
Great to see the XS650 project get started Victor
It is amazing how just changing the wheels and tank how nicer it makes the bike look
I agree with your freight costs it is a killer for me in OZ getting stuff out of the USA doubles the cost with freight costs
Love Kickstarter too great pipes
Hello Kevin.
I am really sorry.
My intention was to include a small presentation of your Frankenstein version on this first episode.
But then I realized the video was starting to be too long, and I had to give it up.
But i promise I won't forget of you on the second episode of this XS project.
I hope you understand me.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective about this video. I'm glad you liked. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV Thanks so much Victor
Looking forward to seeing another beautiful Cafe Racer evolve
This is going to be awesome. I think you may even top Frankenstein. Can’t wait to see the next episode. 🤗
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. Personally, I also think this project is going to be even more beautiful than my Frankenstein. :) Cheers.
That tank is amazing!!!
Thanks for all the informations . Keep the great content up ✌🏼
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
I'm taking a firm stand, and anyone that disagrees is wicked wrong; the parallel twin, Yamaha 650 engine is one of the greatest mills ever created! Take that, you 4 cylinder people.
I think you are right. It is not by accident that most people consider the XS650 engine, as Yamaha's best engine ever made. :) Cheers.
Can't wait to see the progress 👍👌
Brutal!!!! Mais um projeto com muito bom gosto! Simplesmente Adoro, e vou adorar ainda mais o produto final! Estou certo disso! Um Abraço
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Saludos, espero que ese proyecto sea espectacular como lo fue la CX, espero inpacientemente el próximo video, un fuerte abrazo desde México.
Gracias Amigo. :) Saludos.
Lookin' amazing! This thing is gonna be perfect.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Amazing project
Inspiring as always... 👍
I need a bike project soon! 😎
can't hardly wait... episode 2
Me too. :) Cheers.
I hope the project went smoothly. Good luck
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Como sempre. O conteúdo dos videos são ótimos. Parabéns!!!!
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Oooh xmas come early. I had some stuff from Kickstarter in the past, glad to hear they are selling more items. Look forward to progress.
Good stuff 👍🏻 quite an ambitious target, to make it look "factory" rather than a shed built special - finish will be critical, but you've got some excellent quality pieces, a clear vision & a superb starting point. Really looking forward to seeing the results. Enjoy the process, Cheers Mate 👍🏻👍🏻
It seems you really know what youre talking about. Yes, it is very hard to build a custom project, and make it look like something that came from factory. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
😎 this will be the coolest. Cheers from SoCal
Brother I look forward to see more of this amazing project ❤️
Buying tips is a great segment...
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
oh gosh i just finished mine little honda cg 125,new engine is on the way so it will be 175cc,i have another bike too that i will make into a cafe racer a yamaha virago xv 250 cant wait for that good job cant wait for episode 2 :D
Waiting anxiously for more.
Your CX sounds really good. Great work.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
nice !! i am sure that this one , will be another piece of art like the other one , although very hard to beat , will see !!! thx a lot amigo !!!! and good luck with this one , be safe and see you soon !!!
Thank you my dear friend for your kind comment. To be honest, I think this XS will end up even better than my Honda CX. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV , wow , this will be a difficult task , but i can not wait to see it finished , good luck amigo and be safe !!!!
Tomara que não demore para eu vê-la pronta. Abraços!!!
Ótimas compras, vai ficar linda sua yamaha!
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
@@RACER_TV um abraço pra vc tbm!
Sensacional.
Adiante com o projecto.
Obrigado amigo.:) Um abraço.
Seems like we are building twin projects Victor !
I am also doing a Yamaha XS650 with a very similar concept, only with a Triumph style fuel tank and emblems, yet still trying to stay with the 1960's British-Japanese join venture look !
Hate to be too much of a copycat Victor, but I think I will definitely take advantage of your Kickstarter vendor suggestion !
Keep up the good work !
Looking forward to seeing your progress as your XS650 comes to life !
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. Curiously, before I found the Norton Commando interstate fuel tank, the Triumph fuel tank was also on of my favorites for this project. Thank you my friend for your support. Good luck for your project. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV
Good hearing from you Victor.
While there are a number of Triumph original tanks out there, some are in rather rough shape, and not all aftermarket tanks are created equally !
Was your Triumph tank on the same site as your Norton tank ?
Or did you find the Triumph tank on a different source ?
Love those peashooters!
Unbelievable! Good luck with the project Vitor! Long time ago I almost buy the same model motorcycle and now I'm sorry that I didn't take it. About Tarozzi clip ons.... I've always wanted to try such tipe - low rise. I will be happy if you share more information about them. Regards Ivan.
Hi Ivan.
The only problem about these Tarozzi clip ons, is the high offset distance.
These are the "Tarozzi Low Rise Clipons 105MM Offset".
But if you search for the "Tarozzi Low Rise Clipons 65MM Offset", you will see that they look nicer. :) Cheers.
xs 650 is my fav motorcycle,..hope i get one soon,...
Vai ficar linda!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Ansioso pra ver o andamento da xs2, minha primeira moto em 1973. Sim comecei pelas grandes da época, hoje depois de todos os tipos de motos, sosseguei em uma não menos lendária Transalp xl 700 v. Mas, nos meus sonhos está uma restauração como a que está a fazer. Apressa aí irmão.
Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um abraço.
With the background of Frankenstein, I'm sure this will becom a great project as well, for I know about your skills... I like the enginesound of the XS 650. I once had one too. I'm curious about the next Video.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. You are one of the few, who know how the XS is really a great motorcycle. I fell in love by the XS after a small ride. it is a magnificent and fun machine. :) Cheers.
...already another winner...
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
c est un régal pour les yeux c est vraiment de l excellence ,
du travail d orfèvres
That's a good looking tank
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Fantastic! Love those exhausts.
