About Building the Brute
A Yamaha TR1 from 1981 was completely transformed into the café-racer of our dreams. But how does such a dream begin, or better than that, how does such a motorcycle get built? A 9-part series has been made about this whole process, it's called "Building the Brute". All episodes of Building the Brute can be watched on the YouTube channel.
