While the professional shops make some truly great bikes, it’s the small, independent builders that impress me the most. While it’s nice to have the “freedom” to mate a brand new BMW R-Nine-T with a shopping cart and call it art, having to actually live with your build day in and day out results in bikes that look good but actually work. Stefano’s XS650 breaks no new ground style wise, thank God, and is simply a very solid bobber that reflects his personality nicely. Yeah, the shots have two different headlights, the original and a new unit, and I actually like the older one better, but it’s not my bike. This build shows that you don’t have to spend enormous amounts of money for a great motorcycle, you just have to have the vision and perseverance to do it yourself! Built, not bought indeed!
