Endurance motorcycles of the 80th had their charm. "Workhorse Speed Shop" created a custom, which combined the style of these motorcycles and racing bikes for short distances. The project was named "Sakura" and was created on a Yamaha XSR700 as the base. The bike will take part in the 2018 Sultans of Sprint. Brice Hennebert of Workhorse Speed Shop is the latest builder commissioned by Yamaha to create a Yard Built custom.

One-cylinder and twin cylinder motorcycles with liquid cooling and the maximum power to weight not more than 0.65 hp. / kg can take part in the factory class. Frame has to be an original or modified original. Swingarm can be extented up to 20% of its original length. Everything else is within the rules, and Bryce took advantage of all the possibilities.
