Yard Built XJR1300 ‘Eau Rouge’ by Deus
Encapsulating the lean and single purpose looks of an endurance racing machine, Milan based special builder Deus Ex Machina Italy’s latest creation, ‘Eau Rouge’, gives a modern twist to the semi-faired 1970s style through the incorporation of straight line and angular aesthetics.
The hand-built seat unit, petrol tank and ‘Cyclops’ nose cone have all been designed to give the over-all impression of an endurance bike while still appearing fresh and modern in their style. When combined retro-styled Öhlins right way up forks and twin shocks, Marvic five-spoke gold wheels, solid brake discs and a titanium stubby 4-into-1 exhaust system, there is no mistaking this retro race thoroughbred. Deus Ex Machina’s fabulous ‘Eau Rouge’ special is a fitting tribute to both the men and machines that proved their steel by pushing themselves to the very limit of their endurance over 24 relentless hours of non-stop racing.
