The D-Side Story
The Yamaha Yard Build Project view fully involved Deus Ex Machina, World-renowned custom motorcycle design house, that after taking care of the Yamaha XJR and SR400, this time arrive to build a full custom bike on the Yamaha XV950 Bolt. A project that take inspiration from a different philosophy, because the bike that was build move from two to three wheels, to becoming a sidecar: a new and never walked land for the customizer and also for Yamaha. The result is already a Story, because the D-Side arrived to take the scene in the last Wheels and Wave in Biarritz, where Deus and Yamaha decide to unlevel the bike. Parts of this story are three man: Shun Miyazawa, Yamaha Motor Europe Product Manager that pull the strings to realize a custom on the XV950 basis, Filippo Bassoli, Deus Italy Chief and the inspired man to realize a sidecar, and Emanuele Vicinanza, that is the heart of the italian Deus Workshop. This video move from their ideas, to arrive at the final result: enjoy it!

On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.

Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.

Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.

In Benzin Veritas!
