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.
Would it really be that hard for someone to manufacture a hot mono like this and sell it for around 5 grand????
Come ON! you’re killin’ me smalls.
uahaaaau, my old love was another DEUS [W650 Street Tracker] … but this one it make me can’t sleep
…
It’d be a real blast on unpaved back roads.
Amazing how deus keep proving that jap bikes CAN be exciting, great looking and sharp.
Cool as – hope we can see some new models out of this classic style.
Does anyone know how much these will retail for in the U.S.? I need to own one or two!
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…
For all you boys in Aus … I’m unfortunately selling my Deus … if you’re interested.
