Deus build of defiance.
No surrender, varying genres come together to create a unique street bike of note. Deus artisans challenge convention, shortening the wheel base by fitting a Yamaha SR400 swing arm. A classic appearance, reminiscent of BSA's A65, achieved with rear suspenders closer to vertical. Late 1960's W1 650's was the result of the struggling BSA firm selling off the tooling of the A65 to the new blood, Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Envy green coated alloy tank, alloy seat pan upholstered in cow of brown. Air box eliminator, battery relocation, and custom, sculptured exhausts in ceramic black. Custom rear shocks and modified fork internals give the W a strong and solid stature.
Deus escape the suffocation of the status quo. Come and take.
