Portugal’s Ton-up Garage took their Yamaha XSR700 back to the future with a design they say was inspired by synthetic sounds and neon dreams…. Um, okay…

They have called their creation ‘Outrun’ and aimed for a sort of retro 80s cool with a brutal, cold and sharp custom.

For anyone familiar with the 80s movie, TRON, this design will be strikingly familiar. Neon colours and harsh lines remind us of how we saw the future not so long ago.

The body is handmade by welding aluminium polygons with a brushed aluminum finishing and a fresh coat of transparent varnish.

Ton-up Garage hand built their own wheels and stainless steel exhaust to complete the look and feel of the bike and fitted street legal racing tyres.

Ton-up Garage’s Outrun was a real head turner and won, in its category, the historic Punk’s Peak Race.
