A new shop opened up in Barcelona called Reborn Motors. Their motto, 'a new life for your bike' suits their style perfectly as this shop works closely with their customers to customize your old bike. This clean Yamaha SR250 street tracker is the first one to roll out of the workshop. Being light and maneuverable, it's perfect for both the small city streets and the gravel tracks further afield. Jim Palau-Ribes, a European car designer who also runs Pursang runs the workshop, with bike mechanic Hector Zayas at his side.
Why a SR250? 'It's a common bike here in Barcalone,' says Palau-Ribes, 'so we thought it would be a good starting point: to take an ordinary old bike and turn it into something special.' And it sure is special. The modifications are well thought-out and functional, with a 34mm Dell'Orto carburetor and short-throw throttle adding to the experience when riding this beauty.
The handlebars are from a Sherco 450i enduro bike, and the triple clamps and footrests are from a Honda CRF. Dunlop K180 tires ride on Excel Takasago 2.50 x 18" rims, and Betor shocks smooth out the ride. The SR250 also now has a kickstarter and the tank is from a vintage Derbi Tricampeona moped.
