Trimaha or is it a Yamumph?

The late seventies Yamaha XS650 twin was the Far Easts answer to the British twins of the previous 4 decades. The main difference was that the mechanicals were up-to-date (for the time) and gives a very suitable foundation to build cafes, bobbers, roadsters and other 21st Century hipster customs. This one has been stripped, cleaned, upgraded, and given the old Trumpet Scrambler treatment.

Blackened engine, trim and olive drab tank. The logo has even been given the Triumph swoosh. Nicely executed indeed!
