Custom-Made Yamaha FZ Cafe Racer Limited Edition by Aadil Siddiqui

Meet Yamaha FZ Cafe Racer Limited Edition: Aadil Siddiqui, an automobile engineer from SRM University, has entered the world of automotive design through his wonderful cafe racer. He used his knowledge regarding principals, tools, and practices to make a considerable amount of changes on a stock Yamaha FZ. Aadil is a member of Team AeroX Motorsports and has done his internship from Ford and Royal Enfield before choosing his own creation. He already had the experience of building a Formula student car through his university team association.

The modified Yamaha FZ comes with a single seat, dual exhaust outlets and a beefed up fuel tank. The front and rear tires were replaced with bigger than ever units while the reduction in weight is seriously visible from all parts of the motorcycle. He used a twin analogue speedometer in place of the digital FZ unit, creating a retro-modern masterpiece with one additional bags on each sides. The standard handlebar is also replaced with clip-on type handlebar for an aggressive and more connected riding position.

This is what Aadil has to say about his custom-made motorcycle:

“The goal here was to turn the Yamaha FZ 150cc bike into more of Café-Racer, which we’re sure was a challenging seeing how the bike comes as stock as a sports bike. So, I decided to lower the front forks, extended the swing arm with circular tube, modified the gas tank, self-manufactured the exhaust muffler, increased the length of the rear suspension to keep the frame parallel to the ground which is the main feature of a Café-Racer style and created a totally new sub-frame in order to give Yamaha those classic Café-Racer lines.

An integrated tail light signals round things out quite nicely, and a custom leather seat now covers the battery. The digital speedometer has been replaced by twin analog dial to give it a vintage touch, the footrest assembly have been given the position in such a way that the rider must lean on the gas tank while riding. The handle bars has been replaced by the clip-on handle bars. The new Yamaha also rides stock 17’’ alloy wheels and Continental Scuba tires for good measures. Now the name of this classic Café-Racer is ‘’Rebel Racer’’ The Limited Custom Of Aadil.”
