The Suzuki Sakura is a recent excellent example of remo (retro+modern = remo; seriously, I just made this up; hot right?).

Combining the look of the early 1970’s XS-1 with modern Japanese design and style, the Sakura (full name: XS-V1 Sakura) is a concept design intended to display “models as works of art that are the realizations of Yamaha’s corporate principle: to be a company that creates Kando*”.

Unfortunately, all signs point to this never hitting production. However, given that even remo is all the rage these days - with a few seeing production soon - one can only pray Suzuki wakes up and smells the shag and blesses us with this gorgeous beauty.

    all it needs is a set of Clubman Bars
    ( http://www.oldbikebarn.com/part.php?id=21&subcategory=Handle%20Bars ) with a 5 1/2 inch drop and maybe a 12 pt. deerskull for a fairing…check your local laws before affixing the deerskull though. :)

    the copper is quite sharp!

    Yea, the copper touches are fresh indeed! Good call on the clubman bars! Would look so choice!

    If, I really want to take it there, a set of vintage riding goggles, riding scarf and an “artist loft” in Williamsburg would set this whole thing on fire!
    :P

Hollar!
