Logo design for a Yamaha Motor Yard Built project
Yamaha's Faster Sons and Yard Built have had a strong presence bringing custom delight to the best bike shows and festivals in Europe for a number of years. After a multi-year involvement celebrating the sun-kissed Wheels & Waves event in Biarritz, Yamaha is broadening horizons and heading to Italy; the game has been well and truly raised for 2019's The Reunion. Attendees can expect the cream of the Sport Heritage Range in full force. Following 2018's super cool 'Back to the Future' theme, the style changes in 2019 as the retro cool XSR700 and stunning new XTribute lead the way for an exciting new project, 'Back to the Dirt'.
Back to the Dirt
The 2019 The Reunion will set the scene for a new Yamaha Yard Built Theme; Back to the Dirt. This year the challenge for nine customizers is to bring the vintage rally vibe to life with XSR700 creations that take inspiration from Yamaha MX and Rally machines of the 70's and 80's. Expect to see something special from D&G Motorsport Italy, Kiddo Motors Spain, Sur Les Chapeaux De Roues France, Hookie Co. Germany, Capelo Garage & Elemental Rides Portugal, Hostettler Switzerland, Ymoto Czech Republic, Yamaha Rainier Custom Austria and Lamb Engineering UK. Once revealed, the nine builds will be judged, with prizes given for Best Design. They will then take part in a special Yamaha-only events,
both dirt, and sprint races, as part of the live action.
