Deus SR500 street tracker

SR500 street tracker
Most Yamaha SR-based customs hark back to the golden age of cafe racers. But the Australian specialist Deus has taken a jump into the future with its tough-looking SR542, nicknamed “The Mono.” This particular machine started life as a 1978 SR500, but you’d never know: it’s been upgraded beyond recognition. It’s packing custom Öhlins suspension front and back, a heavily breathed-upon 542cc motor, a modified frame and a two piece-reverse cone silencer. According to Deus, the muffler “provides great back pressure on the engine, and enough bark to satisfy the next door neighbours’ solicitors.” [Thanks Wes.]

    I love Deus. Their bikes make me happy, and this street tracker could spark new interest for a lot of guys with older bikes collecting dust here in the states.

    The Mono cost 23000 euros in Italy….there’s only one in U.S.A., in L.A. and it’s Orlando Bloom’s bike…
