2018 – The brief was to build a excellent classic caferacer and the outcome was 'Bengali' a Yamaha XS650 parallel twin with clean lines and some modern electronic components.

Bengali got the same color as the irises of the cat’s eyes and a few more subtle touches help refine the concepts. Like a pop-up gas cap, a brown leather seat, and black and silver finishes on its motor.
