The Yamaha XS650 chopper was built in 2015 by Jared Johnson at Holiday Custom Motorcycles in Portland. Almost every part of the motorcycle was custom-made by Jared, and it took nearly three months to complete. The handmade exhaust is one of the most captivating features of this bike. The first chopper motorcycles originated in the United States, and later this type of customization made its way to the "Old Continent" in the late 1960s, thanks to films that depicted American culture of that era, including the well-known movie "Easy Rider." Motorcycles with this customization represent a minimalist approach, stripping away anything that is not essential.
