Tokyo-Parts makes the most evil C3 (Vox) ever

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

The Max★Vox. If Yamaha had a partnership with Warner Bros. to produce a Bat Scooter inspired Vox (C3), this is probably what it would look like. I’d love to have better photos and specs, but I don’t have a copy of the June issue of “MotoChanpu”. You can click the title link to hop over […]
