Have them build in their own way and make it a contest and then after will give it to them. So, we just wanted to showcase the versatility of the bike,&quot; shares Jariel Aytona, the Area Marketing Operations Assistant Supervisor of Yamaha Motor Philippines. (When XSR155 arrived in the Philippines, we made a deal with Zach (Lucero, the founder of Makina Moto Show) that we will give out XSR155 for the builders.

So, we just wanted to showcase the versatility of the bike.)The XSR155 is a versatile ride that allows customization to fit each rider&#x27;s desires.This year’s selected builders: Seiko Serano of Shift Cycle Grind, Jet Pacard Oriña of Garage Esquinita, and Adrian Jacinto, from Nongskey Garage Custom Bikes, have put an effort into customizing the XSR115. According to builder Adrian Jacinto, customizing a motorcycle is not cheap however it is definitely worth it when you want a ride that outright expresses who you are.As for Jed Oriña, his entry in this year&#x27;s build off is something he personally loves, &quot;Inspiration ko po dyan is &#x27;yung tracker bike po. Usually kasi lagi akong nagmo-motor &#x27;yung off-road, motocross kaya gusto ko talaga &#x27;yung mga inspired tracker na ganyan.&quot; (My inspiration is the tracker bike. I usually ride off-road, motocross. That is why I really wanted a tracker inspired like that.)Seiko Serano admitted the hardships he encountered while building his XSR155 tracker adventure inspired &quot;More on adventure ako kaya naisip ko kaya gumawa ako nitong removeable na carrier. Trial and error siya. And dami naming nasayang na aluminum at mga tubo. Muntikan na sumuko pero kinaya naman.&quot; (I am more on adventure that is why I made a removeable carrier. It was a trial and error. And I admit that we wasted a lot of aluminum and pipes. I almost gave up, but I am glad we made it.)Jariel Aytona of Yamaha Motor Philippines&#x27; hinted at what they are looking as this year&#x27;s winner,&quot;We wanted them to customize it, but as well we wanted the people to still recognize the XSR155. So, somehow people customized it in a way na parang hindi mo na kilala yung bike. But here gusto namin na in the middle, na yeah, itis a customized, its appealing but still you can recognize that it is an XSR155.&quot; (We wanted them to customize it, but as well we wanted the people to still recognize the XXR155. So, somehow people customized it in a way that you will not recognize the bike. But here, we wanted it to be somewhere in the middle, that it is customized, it is appealing but still you can recognize that it is an XSR155)<div>A ride for everyone</div>Last April 14, day one of the 3-day annual Makina Moto Show held in SMX Mall of Asia, Yamaha Motor Philippines toured the media and motorcycle enthusiasts to the CODE: REV – Rise of Sport Machine booth.James Deakin – television and events host and automotive journalist hosted the opening and toured the audience to each corner of the Yamaha booth while discussing the features of each motorcycle.
