As modern-classic and neo-retro motorcycles continue to grow an audience, more and more manufacturers are venturing beyond café racer-styled naked bikes. Triumph recently slapped a beautiful bubble fairing and svelte tail section onto its Speed Triple 1200 RR and Yamaha drew from its decorated 1980s Grand Prix days for the heavily-updated XSR900.
As retros get racier, we can see other brands getting in on the trend as well. Aprilia seems to be prepping a commemorative 30th anniversary livery for a potential RSV4 Trenta, but that nostalgic paint scheme doesn’t go far enough for some fans. One such Aprilia die-hard is French blogger Le Week-End De Course and his RS250-inspired RSV4 bodywork and paint show just how far brand enthusiasts are willing to go to capture the charm of a bygone era.
