Based on an YZF R6 machine, Yamaha together with Silver Star Casting Company, custom builder Nick Anglada, and famous tattoo artist Franco Vescovis created a Southern California Rat Rods and Low Rider inspired motorcycle to pay tribute to Silver Star Casting Company.
The one-off bike was unveiled at the Yamaha display during the Chicago International Motorcycle Show. Immediately following the unveiling, MMA Professional Fighter Clay Guida (The Carpenter) signed autographs for the fans.
"Silver Star is a lifestyle brand and one of the top MMA brands—showcasing at the International Motorcycle Show gave us a platform to display our full range of capabilities," said Silver Star founder and CEO, Luke Burrett. "The custom Silver Star Yamaha is the perfect representation of Silver Star's signature edge and "Built For Champions" ideology, and is a testament to the brand's strength in the market."
Silver Star Casting Company, which started as a small Orange County boutique, has quickly become a major player in the global fashion and accessories industry. Today Silver Star is widely recognized as one of the sportswear market’s most fashion forward and distinctive brands.
"We are extremely excited about the opportunity to work together with a brand as distinctive and progressive as Silver Star," said Bob Starr, General Manager of Communications for Yamaha Motorsports Group. "We believe this unique R6 that Nick Anglada and Franco Vescovi have created for them will be just the tip of the iceberg of our new partnership."
