Since 1987, Official has built a rep as one of Japan’s top custom motorcycle shops. The Kyoto company specialises in cafe racers: cute SR400s and 500s, Estrellas and W650s, influencing the output of Western outfits such as Deus Ex Machina in Sydney. But unless you speak Japanese, the only way to navigate Official’s website is via Google’s rather wonky translation: “SR of the clutch is heavy fine, or not to give up? I do not think so. Becomes lighter. The touring continued congestion, fatigue of the left hand is free from that offensive. I also do not rust and is hydraulic wire growth. Do not use it because it is now.” Indeed.
