A Yamaha Virago (XV)-based cafe racer built by Japanese builder Custom Works Zon is drawing attention as a machine that breaks with conventional design thinking. Built on a familiar custom platform, it's a work that pulls out a truly one-of-a-kind form.
Custom Works Zon's builds always come at you swinging with sheer visual power. Drawing out a shape nobody's ever seen from a staple like the Virago — I love that aesthetic. Isn't it the kind of bike that makes you want to peek inside the builder's head?

Custom Works Zon, a Japanese builder - didn't know they're highly regarded overseas too.
What strengths does the Virago actually bring as a custom build base?
With that low V-twin cruiser stance as the base, it's a chassis with good bones for going café racer.
It's described as convention-breaking, but hard to picture exactly what's so radical from photos alone.
Zon's custom builds never fit into any existing category, no matter how many times I see one.
Building it up to this level from a Virago base - hats off to the builder's imagination.
