In most cases, a quick glance is enough for one to be able to tell that a bike comes from Japan. The Japanese builders have something which sets them apart from the rest, and their bikes are a matter of instant love or hate. And taking a look at An-Bu's Skull Tiger XS650 should make things very clear.
This An-Bu build brings together so many elements from so much bike classes, all mixed up in a unique style with a strong, unforgiving character. Part chopper, part bobber, with an unmistakeable racing spirit and aggressive hotrod DNA, the Skull Tiger is a statement: showing zero compromise in terms of respecting the traditional design, it simply blurs all the boundaries.

The Skull Tiger is as classic as it is a majestic freestyle machine: open S&S bored-out carbs and aggressive wrapped exhausts, the trademark An-Bu asymmetrical fairing and military-themed color scheme.

Having tuned the engine for more torque hints us on how cool riding the Skull Tiger would be, especially with the flat track racing-like seat with a generous backrest. While we ere a bit undecided whether we like this bike or not, after spending some time looking at it, we might say it's love, and not the other way around. Seen on BikeEXIF.
