The custom two-wheeler we’ll be looking at today is the work of Left Hand Cycles – an ambitious enterprise based in The Netherlands. When it comes to applying a less-in-more approach to craft something truly sensational, these folks are the real MVPs and the bike you’re seeing here is a solid testament to support that claim!
At its core, this bad boy is a Yamaha XS650 SE from the late ‘70s. It is powered by an air-cooled SOHC parallel-twin engine, with two valves per cylinder and a displacement of 653cc. The four-stroke behemoth is fully capable of producing up to 53 vicious ponies at about 7,200 rpm, along with 40 pound-feet (54 Nm) of relentless torque at 5,500 revs.
