As some of you may know I've started writing regular articles in the workshop section of Motorcycle Sport & Leisure Magazine. The editor John is building their long term project bike. It's a Yamaha XSR700 which he's named "Cada Dia" which is Spanish for "Every Day" The premise for the bike is to fit in with Yamaha's 'Yard Built' theme, essentially taking one of their bikes and making it your own using aftermarket parts but without resorting to cutting or welding to any extent. It's a custom bike that anyone can build. The idea is that Yamaha display this bike next to a standard version in order to demonstrate how easily one can create their own bike. "Here's the standard bike but with a few mods and accessories you could make it look like this"
