Ducati Fairing Goodness on Yamaha XS650 Cafe Racer

[roy-nexus-6]

Nice Ducati half fairing - really nice integrated indicators. And a muffler set up to die for.

That early Duc style fairing is a classic for sure !

It looks cool on all kinds of different bikes

Nice.

Cool bike - emphasis on chopper ......

With those tires, I hope the cafes you race to have nice straight roads as the route

am I the only one that thinks that bike has no flow whatsoever?

vintage tires that are useless for all but touring and looks, flattracker exhaust, chopper tank/paint, cafe/street tracker seat, and a race fairing?

its like they took a piece of every bike fad for the last 8 years and threw it together.

Nope

Same here.  Looks  naff to me...if it were all black it would look cool in a rat-rod sort of way.  I've always liked the big Yamaha ver-twins, but this is an example of what not to do.

I do agree that the fairing is a classic, but how "Ducati" is it?  I've seen plenty of Rickmans that look nearly identical.
