A nostalgic vibe for the Z650RS with 18-inch conversion! ACTIVE's "153 GARAGE" unveils their cafe version!

ACTIVE exhibited this "153 GARAGE" custom at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show. Differing from their usual customizations, this custom has a classic look that is not too aggressive and has just the right balance. We'll show you the details here.

New clip-on handlebar kit is sure to be a hit!

The Z650RS, released in 2022, has already been fully customized by ACTIVE's "153 GARAGE". They are a custom brand with a neo-classic theme. Their first custom was the GB350 that was displayed at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show in 2022. The Z650RS that they have created this time is a modern version of the cafe racer theme, with many new parts that give off a totally new look.

The highlight is the conversion of the stock 17-inch front and rear wheels to GALE SPEED 18-inch wheels for a nostalgic look. The tires are now as narrow as a 250cc class bike, with the front converted from 120 to 110 and the rear from 160 to 140, bringing them closer to the size of air-cooled Zappers. The clip-on handlebars are mounted to create a cafe racer style, and 153 GARAGE has also developed a top bridge to go with them. Along the lines of the 153 concept, they are designed to provide both an optimal ride position and a retro look.

Rearset kit designed to match with clip-on handlebars

The Z650RS was also equipped with 153 GARAGE's newly developed rearset. This rearset was designed to match with the aforementioned Top Bridge & Clip-on Handlebar Kit to create a riding position reminiscent of a naked racer. The simple shape beautifully suits the neo-classic model.

Low cost machined axial calipers!

The Z650RS was also equipped with billet axial calipers, which will be released as a mid-range model by GALE SPEED. They are machined to provide sufficient performance while thoroughly reducing cost. Not only will they be the best match for upright forks, but they will also be leveled up compared to cast calipers.
