The retro revival is in full swing, and Yamaha's Ténéré 700 is getting a groovy makeover with these fairing kits from Holy Moly. Stepping back in time to the 1970s, these kits are a blast from the past with a modern twist.
A Customized Journey
Holy Moly, based in Lisbon, has a knack for transforming motorcycles into retro masterpieces. Their previous fairing kits took us back to the 1980s and '90s, and now they're delving even deeper into the archives with the 'Retro 2.0' collection.
The Retro 2.0 Experience
The 'Retro 2.0' kits offer a unique blend of old-school aesthetics and contemporary functionality. With six color options, ranging from classic white and red to bold black and green, these kits are designed to fit the 2019-2024 T7 models, excluding the World Raid and World Rally editions.
What I find particularly intriguing is the attention to detail. Each kit includes an E-approved LED headlight, turn signals, front and lower fenders, a 3D-printed display holder, and even a flexible tail tidy with all the necessary adapters and mounts. It's like having a time machine for your bike, complete with all the modern conveniences.
A Custom Touch
One of the standout features is the option for custom decals. Imagine riding your Ténéré with a unique, personalized touch, a true reflection of your style. It adds a whole new level of customization and individuality to an already impressive package.
Pricing and Availability
The kits start at a reasonable $1,778, which is a small price to pay for such a transformative experience. However, be prepared for a bit of a wait, as these custom kits take up to four weeks to build before shipping.
A Global Appeal
Holy Moly's reach extends beyond Europe, with shipping options available in the US and Canada. This speaks to the universal appeal of the retro trend and the desire for personalized, unique motorcycles.
Final Thoughts
These fairing kits are a testament to the enduring appeal of retro styling. They offer a fun, immersive experience, allowing riders to connect with the past while enjoying the benefits of modern technology. It's a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation, and I, for one, am excited to see the Ténéré 700 hit the roads with a 1970s twist.
