Hookie Co. has modded the 689cc Yamaha XSR700 concept twin into something ruggedly futuristic. Though Hookie kept the original frame and chassis, it added parts like a handcrafted aluminum tank, a new aluminum seat rail portion, a new mounting plate, unique angled 3D printed flourescent orange acrylic panels, a new lamp mask with multi-element headlight, and a fresh approach to LED lighting that includes three illuminated fins that incorporate the brake light, taillight, and turn signals. The dirt/track ready bike also makes use of beefier Pirelli MT60 tires, an SC-Project short exhaust, Motogadget glassless rear view mirrors, and a waterproof Alcantara seat cover. The great part is you can actually order one instead of just staring at these photos.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
