| Type 7D
Inspired by the ongoing evolution of the adventurous Type 7 series, the Type 7D and 7E follow in the footsteps of the ultimate Type 7X, bringing the off-road adventure theme to life.
Designed and engineered to endure the rigors of off-road riding and tested under extreme conditions, these newcomers to the series simplify and refine the sculpted yet utilitarian style of the Type 7X.
Built on Yamaha's SR500 base, each Type 7 has been completely redesigned to meet the client's specific requirements. The engines underwent meticulous rebuilding and refinement, while frames were delugged and lightened, featuring custom rear loop modifications for the seat unit. Tank modifications removed flanges and introduced custom fuel fillers for a streamlined aesthetic.
Like the 7X, these bikes boast bespoke, handmade sand-bent exhausts positioned high for river wading capability and improved ground clearance, doubling as distinctive design elements. Special black ceramic coatings and heat guards were applied to manage exhaust heat.
Rare components from the SR500's off-road counterpart, the XT500, were sourced to enhance all-terrain performance and contribute to a unique aesthetic. Trials tires were selected for optimal off-road traction while maintaining road comfort, complemented by Rental handlebars for ideal riding posture and style. Front suspension features custom stiffened springs, balanced with Haigon's shocks at the rear for enhanced handling and performance. Handcrafted aluminum mudguards not only complete the look but also protect against mud splashes.
Mikuni VM34 carbs were installed to improve airflow and performance, while RAM air filters ensure efficient engine breathing even in challenging conditions.
Finished entirely in metallic black, with a black suede hand-stitched seat, the engines received aqua blasting treatment and bare aluminum was protected for longevity against the elements.
