It was inevitable that the success of Auto Fabrica's first adventure-style bike, the acclaimed Type 3, would inspire a client to commission a similar style applied to a larger platform.

Staying true to the single-cylinder ethos, the evolution took shape with a Yamaha SR400. The approach emphasized refining existing components and integrating simplified, strategically styled elements to create a motorcycle that is both functional and aesthetically striking.

Commissioned by a London-based client, this build seamlessly transitions from urban commuting to off-road adventures on weekends, embodying the spirit of adventure that inspired its creation.
