BIKE NIGHT ASIA BIKE OF THE WEEK: Yamaha Aerox 155 v2 ProStreet Concept

It wasn't a secret that we have featured Yamaha's Aerox on several occasions now. We have featured modified, stock, version 1 and version 2 of this unit, and we are not going to stop there. Enter Japs Panlaqui's Aerox v2 ProStreet Concept as done by Akira Works.

Aerox is one piece of art on its own, but give it a get-up like this? You're turning a piece of art into something that everyone covets. A ride worth not only being ridden but being displayed as well.

Let's start with the aesthetics. One word, GLORIOUS! Japs' concept and Akira Works' execution have given an already beautiful bike something in a league of its own.

The deep blacks and clean whites give it a low-key, mysterious look that is immediately cancelled out by a loud dash of regal red to give it highlights. To sum it all up, the graphics hold them all together, giving the bike its street look while maintaining its elegant and sexy look.

Performance is something that isn't going to be ignored. The effort given by the rider wasn't just for the looks, but how it performs as well. From breaks, levers, suspensions, exhaust, etc., is something that we should breakdown.

Breaking is done by RCB's Forged S1 Titanium Breakmaster, Forged S1 Titanium Left Break Lever, and protected by the same brand's Lever Guard to give the set the highlight it needs. This is backed up by the 2-pot caliper and rotor disc for the stop that he needs on a 6-spoked wheel on a Maxxis Victra.

The exhaust is something that completes its identity. How it looks and how it performs should also be good when it comes to how it sounds, and this is done by the TSMP v1 Exhaust.

The humps and bumps are received by YSS G-Sports for the rear suspension and JVT LCM T-Post for the front suspension for a smooth ride.

Overall, this head turner really is something to be marveled out, the care of the owner for the bike definitely shows with each detail that this bike shows off. Thank you Japs for sharing us your awesome ride and we hope to see your tandem on the tracks soon!
