Cafe Racer Timelapse build - Yamaha XJ 600 (FJ 600)
Here is the timelapse build of my third cafe racer project : a 1984 Yamaha FJ 600 (or XJ 600 in Europe)
I chose a more difficult motorcycle this time as the XJ 600 is known not to ben easiest one to transform.

The best thing about this build is that the motorcycle remained as close as possible to the original and that's what I appreciated the most 🔥
Makes me so happy to see someone pouring love into a great old machine like this. Honestly really inspiring.
The man at 13:43 straight up praised the lord for letting him witness this masterpiece :D

I like this build because of its basic simplicity in building it and it’s appearance. This proves the average individual can do quality work and do it on a budget.
Very nice outcome with minimal changes (compared to professional builds). I like those common Yamaha wheels. They were same wheels on my SRX6
Étant possesseur d une xj600s de 1998, je reconnais le travail que tu as fait, et te dit BRAVO pour cette jolie transformation 👍✌

I love your work man , you're amazing and the bikes you make are awesome
Hey everyone! since many of you guys asked me where I got the seat or other parts on this build, I created a parts list with the links on my website! be sure to check it out here: tomracingdesigns.com/index.php/parts/
This build right here is your best one on my list! Looks, Sound... just beautifull!!!
My god, so perfect.
This looks great! I ride a `99 Xj600 and in one or two years I also want to make a cafe racer out of it..

Loved the way the project was performed...not like dismantle everything and everything at single breathe...simultaneous and neat work...handles..headlamps...tank/carb...air filter...then finish tank..finally rear end...etc... Great work...amazing mod...beautiful ride... 👍🏽
Y'kno I'm not even a motorcycle guy, I love american muscle cars. But I have the utmost respect for any person that has the mechanical skills to be able to take an old bike and turn it into something simple, clean, and original. I really admire that you're clearly just doing this in your apartment with what space and time you have. I've seen your other videos and the bikes you build are absolutely beautiful. Forget all the shiny bells and whistles. The bikes you're making are beautiful as just the raw engine on a frame that they are. Keep on keepin' on.
Amazing, keep up the good work!!
Looks stunning mate you’ve done a top class job. I’d be proud as punch if I had the finished bike.
well done dude!!! i am currently modifying an xj600 from 1984. it's been quite complicated, but your video gave me a lot of inspiration now. amazing work!!!
You're a damn genius. Love these builds. This is my favorite new channel. Poor maintenance aside, the bike is in great condition.
Un travail impressionant! comme à chaque fois :D

That has to be one of the most gorgeous bikes I've ever seen 😍
This is the greatest quality build I've ever seen. Keep it up! You inspired me to build my 110 bobber
Beautifull and i respect the effort
One of the nicest cafe racers, well done
I find it relaxing watching time laps builds of motorcycles
This is one of the best cafe racer style builds that I've seen on KZread . For some reason i love these old four cylinder bikes with separate carbs for each cylinder, and I'm dying to try something like this with a steampunk twist... best of luck in future builds
I doubt it at the beginning (was a nice looking bike), but at the end you did a great job!!, congrats!!
Very nice work! When you placed your finger on the weld right after the rear end was welded kind of scared me xD
Dood... you do great work. The rust in the tank and throughout the system blew my mind. Awesome, just awesome.
Best thing about this video was how the guy that built it rode it. You can tell he's enjoying the fruits of his labour. Beautiful machine and much respect bro
Admirable amigo. Tienes el espiritu, la ética, inquietud y conocimientos. Me apena un poco ver que trabajas en un estacionamiento. Mucho deseo pronto puedas tener un taller mas apropiado, ventilado, cómo y seguro. Que Dios te bendiga hermano. Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela

Awesome job bringing a second lease of life to the old Yamaha, very clever I like it allot.
An incredible famous job! These timelapses dont show how much work is in it. Adoreable! Great stuff :)!
Thanks for memories. I had the XJ600 for years in the early 90s.

Nice job, you have taken a vastly underrated bike and turned it into a thing of beauty well done. So many guys just go out and buy that look, most companies make something along those lines trying to catch the hipsters and sting them for a fortune, when they could get into something no one else has for less than half the cost of the new one. Hope the bike gives you years of pleasure.
damn this looks super expensive i'd love to build one of these someday with my own hands great video bro!

This is a very impressive build - especially instructive for those of us with few tools and no "garage" space. I went through a very similar issue; rust in the tank and crud in the carbs. Wow, that was a long time ago....

super belle !!! beau travail, par contre je sais pas comment t'as pu faire ta synchro carb avecles aiguilles qui parte dans tout les sens. Et un petit coup de peinture sur le moteur ferai pas de mal. Sinon super vidéo ça me donne envie d'en faire une aussi !!! continue comme ça

ça m'apaise, merci de partager ton travail ça fait chaud au coeur
Esta en venta? Porque esta hermoso :"v
It’s very cool work, of course! but I have only one question, why have you paid so much attention to the tuning of the carburetors and the exhaust system, but you did not do the engine overhaul? regardless of its condition, cleaning channels, changing rubber bands and general diagnostics would significantly increase its lifetime and ride comfort. why not?

I really like the fact that you keep you original tank!!! Almost all cafe racer builds use these “old school” bad quality, skinny tanks. I much rather like the “modern” twist you have it! Keep up we need more builds!!!!

i like your bike, the style, effort. but sory to say, i dont like your rims XD
You made a nice clean looking bike Sir!!! Back when I stripped down my KZ 1300 to a racer, I removed the front (drivers) pegs and welded attachments to the frame and ran my shifter and foot brake to the rear pegs (as well as welding the pegs solid). That way even if someone ask, I couldn't carry a rider (passenger). Put on a 6 into 1 header, pulled the guts (baffles) out of it, removed the turn indicators and everything else I could. Only had a tach on the triple tree (Ain't got no time to look at a speedo!!!). I had the drive shaft and rear hub gears changed by a pro (I'm a country boy!, I don't know anything about such stuff), and she'd top out about 165-170 m.p.h. The reason I know this... That's what I was clocked at. Lost my license for a year, had to pay a crap ton of money to the state and was told if I was ever caught speeding again with in the state they'd revoke my license permanently. Glad I wasn't ever caught afterwards.
Excellent job and the bike was visually balanced. greetings from Argentina❤❤❤

Fantastic workmanship and a brilliant result, wonderful!
Excellent skill. Watched every second in awe. Magnificent work...
Lovely job,breathing new life into an old bike.Well done.
I love your work.. 👏👏 it's really hardwork doing everything by your own. Hand's down for you brother 🙌
Anyone could have achieved an equally good lookin result by changing the tank and the wheels. You managed to pull it off by keeping the originals and that was your true success!
这个是目前看过最好的广告视频了,看着一辆普通的老车重新焕发青春在他的灵巧的双手里从腐朽化为神奇,感觉心情一下就愉快起来了,不知道这位大神级人物是哪里的人
i love seeing old bike rebuilt..great job man
This is cool....I always love to see what other types of mods & designs other guys are doing....
Just bought one of these, same color too! Can't wait to start building it
For around town traffic you can't beat a cafe racer, Sweet job!
Drooled for 14 minutes and 18 seconds! 🤤
I just love your builds!! Please never stop
Le talent ?????? C'est ça ! Un grand BRAVO.
Awesome work, the exhaust wrap and exhaust note are sick!
Such a cool build, and very tastefully done. Good job!
Amazing bike, cant stop looking at it
Love my old XJ - nice job on this!
You made a great job of it, really transformed the bike.

WOW! that came out amazing! Good Job man!
That turn signal on the front just like cherry on top of a cake man.. Bracket with lamp and other just fit real well there.. I should try make some too on my daymaker. Yours still beat my racer tho :D glad to find your project. Thank you and please do enjoy your ride and ride safely.
Oh man.. what u've done to the bike is something like Thor who save the universe! Awesome job man👍👍👍
