Icon has a habit of creating custom bikes to help promote their helmet and rider-wear lines, and this one from 2010 is called the SnakeCharmer.
She was a bike built for a different age. An age before drug resistant infections and air quality standards. Powered by the finest premix technology a 1979 Yamaha corporation had to offer, she was both reckless and beautiful. A homogenized concoction of 400cc bits from the entire Hamamatsu product line. RD400 top, XS400 front, YZ400 rear, IT400 middle. Much like Cher, she was an intoxicating half-breed. The result of an ill-conceived tryst between a street racing father and hare & hound mother. She was in two words - a Dirty Cafe.
It’s a bike built for ratbike enthusiasts, and how could you not love it? She’s meant to be ridden, not stored in some studio collecting dust.
