Description:
Own a piece of Japanese motorcycling heritage – this 1988 Yamaha SR400 café racer is a unique, head-turning build with timeless style and modern upgrades.
Originally Japanese-imported, this bike was transformed into a minimalist café racer with tasteful custom touches and mechanical perfection:
Rebuilt and tuned engine – runs beautifully, no leaks, starts first kick.
POSH Japan throttle cable set + Enricher tube kit (recently installed).
New high-performance sports carburetor professionally fitted.
Custom stainless steel exhaust – deep, crisp note.
Upgraded clutch, throttle, decompression, and brake cables.
Original tank and frame refinished with satin metallic paint.
Lightweight café seat with diamond-stitched leather.
Kickstart only – old-school charm for real enthusiasts.
Why It’s Special:
This SR400 isn’t just another converted bike. It’s a meticulously curated project with attention to reliability and detail – no half-measures, no backyard shortcuts. Clean, lean, and ready to ride or show.
Perfect for weekend runs, city cruising, or vintage bike shows.
The Catch:
I’m travelling long-term and won’t have time to enjoy this beauty anymore. My loss is your gain.
Extras / Invoices: Available (Specialist provider Syndey VANEM MOTO)
Clean mechanical record.
