XSR700 'Urban Adventure' by Down & Out MC
Custom builders Down & Out, BIKE Magazine, and Yamaha join forces to produce an XSR700 for France's Wheels & Waves festival. Only one catch: it must survive the thousand mile ride there first
By Ben Lindley, Staff Writer at BIKE Magazine
All the bikes here at Wheels & Waves are clean. All except one: ours is spattered in mud. It's just ridden a cool thousand miles from Down & Out's bike-building Rotherham HQ to Biarritz, a resort town on France's west coast. It's the British entry into this year's Yard Built project being unveiled at the bike and surfing festival Wheels & Waves. While the other European teams are giving their spotless bikes a good shammy, D&O's chief customizers Shaun and Carl are kicking back with a beer. Cleaning ours isn't the first priority right now. Besides, it looks good in mud.
Our brief was simple: combine Down & Out's build skills with BIKE Magazine's thirst for adventure by customizing a Yamaha XSR700 and then riding it from its birthplace to Biarritz. The whole design concept of the bike stemmed from this brief, but the D&O boys seemed to like the bike just the way it was. “I remember it being difficult to know what to change at first,” says Shaun. “The base XSR is such a sorted-looking bike we didn't know what we wanted to fix.” But gradually the number of tweaks mounted up – uprated suspension to cope with the long and varied journey, bespoke luggage racks, aggressive-looking handlebar with characteristic Down & Out hidden wiring. The result is a bike that is very much ready for adventure, but still clearly based on the XSR700 platform.
The 700's inline twin is a really impressive engine, marrying accessibility with eye-widening performance. On top of that, uprating the suspension to softly-sprung Ohlins units allowed its attributes to be exploited beyond what is available on the stock bike. Serious fun.
Yamaha supplied other parts direct from their catalogue: the Ohlins fork internals and rear shock, mesh side panels, radiator cover, front and rear spindle covers, short seat, chain guard, and of course the Akrapovic exhaust. The cockpit's finishing touches – handlebar, master cylinder, reservoir, and levers – came courtesy of parts manufacturer LSL. And finally, those tires are Continental TKC80s: biased towards off-road capers and as knobby as they come.
