RSD BUILD OF THE WEEK: Ren Star Yamaha

In case you didn’t already notice, we love motorcycles.

They’re just so damn.. sexy.

From old school cafe racers to cruisers to naked sports bikes, they all make your heart pump a little faster and glad you are alive.

But when you want the filet mignon of bikes prepared by a master chef, the only person to go to is Roland Sands.

For this week’s RSD Build of the Week, we are proud to feature the “Ren Star Yamaha” by Roland Sands Design.

According to Summer Hoover from RSD, the Ren Star Yamaha is actually based on a 2006 Yamaha Roadster and was built by Roland Sands for the AMD World & European Championship of Custom Bike Building.

From the frame to the swing arm to the wheels, everything was hand crafted by Roland Sands Design.

If you’re a bike guy, we think you would agree – there is nothing like this bike anywhere in the world. Whoever is lucky enough to own the Ren Star Yamaha is (in our estimation) grinning ear to ear on a daily basis.

Some more details about this build:

Öhlins racing suspension

Hand fabricated RSD exhaust and handlebars

Dunlop racing tires – Front wheel is a Tall Dunlop 120/70 R21 Elite 3 and the rear wheel is a short Dunlop 240/40 R18 Elite 3

Magnificently designed, hand crafted long gas tank

Chris Wood of Airtrix completed the two-tone paint finish

Reverse golden forks which give it a street fighter style

The seat was created by Bitchin’ Rich.
