We’ve been casting our eyes over the new metal at Motorcycle Live, and for us at Bikefan.co.uk, the standout bike is the ‘Faster Wasp’ by iconic custom builder Roland Sands. The bike is the American’s fifth collaboration with Yamaha as part of its Yard Built project, and although there’s no official acknowledgement, the bike is clearly based on the popular Yamaha the MT-09. The “Faster Wasp’ is exquisitely finished and boasts a stunning yellow and black Speed Block paintjob, tipping its hat to Kenny Roberts’ TZ750. Other neat touches include a handcrafted fuel tank and radiator covers, forged aluminium RSD Morris gold wheels, an Öhlins shock and an RSD can. If you’re visiting Motorcycle Live at the NEC, hunt this bike out and marvel at its beauty. You won’t be disappointed.
