Big news. Classified Moto is now Classified Moto, LLC. Not sure that means a lot to the world at large, but it feels like progress to us. To keep up the buzz, Adam Stockton, owner of our gnarly Yamasaki XS750 is hard at work on some design-o-licious limited run screen printed posters. Some of which will feature photographer Adam Ewing's Classified XS650 and our delightful Bulgarian friend and co-worker Tania Staykova. She arrived at the studio straight from a day of super-intense ad meetings and breezed through a five-hour photo shoot like a pro. Many thanks to Tania and both Adams for pulling it together on short notice. Stay tuned for the goods this spring when we open our online store. Custom bikes, lamps, posters, apparel and other highly Classified items. In the meantime, keep up with us here and on Facebook. (Photos: Adam Ewing)

And for our next trick

The current lineup of Classified Moto projects is getting pretty intense. Two Viragos, a CM185, a Moto Guzzi and finally a gnarly CB750 mono with CRF super moto running gear heading north of the border in late spring. It came together with no trouble on my MacBook, so obviously it'll be smooth sailing in the garage, right?

Besides a lightweight front end and supermoto running gear, the old Yammie is fairly low-tech. What it lacks in finesse, it makes up for in character. It's a far cry from the owner's beloved BMW Dakar 650, but everyone's happy. The exhaust is temporary while we wait for the perpetually back-ordered Supertrapp Elite cans to arrive, hopefully in a few weeks. Carbs have been jetted. Pod filters replace the stock airbox. Custom perforated side panels and all sorts of odd brackets keep everything tidy. We both hate the taillight. Consider that temporary, too. (Photos: Adam Ewing).
