THE VICIOUS VIXEN
HARIO is a custom cafe based on a 1982 Yamaha Virago XV920J. The bike theme was inspired by the Japanese mythological character Harionago, a ghostly woman believed to wander the forests at night killing unsuspecting men with her barbed hair. She's had the good fortune of appearances at the 2019 Revival Cycles Hanbuilt Show and will be shown at the 2021 OG Moto Show.
