Evan Scott from Iron Cobras has hooked up with Answer Racing to build this Paris-Dakar Inspired custom WR450F that amps up the retro rally raid vibe without sacrificing performance.

The foundation for Iron Cobras Fabrication begins with a 16 year career spanning from high performance parts for Porsches to custom motorcycle builds and exhaust systems. A love for all things with an engine has fueled a desire to customize and improve.

Evan and Scott worked together on concept drawings, blending the ideas each wanted to see in the builds. “Our focus was not only on making sure the bikes looked good, but also making sure they performed like the Dakar racers we were using for inspiration.”

The 2017 Yamaha WR450F is a good platform for a high-performance build. It’s a big trails bike with a punchy ‘reverse-slant’ engine—the same four-valve single used by its stablemate, the YZ racer. You also get fuel injection and electric start.

This WR450F is called ’81,’ and the name is a clue to where Evan and Scott got their ideas from.
