I could go for that... if it had a more substantial race type seat unit and less holes in the swingarm bracing.

To me the front looks OK(ish), the rear half looks unfinished. I prefer the standard Triumph version.

Nearly nice!
As said, its looks like they ran out of enthusiasm as the got to the back of the bike. The seat doesn’t look right and appears to be a slightly different angle to the main bike, ditching and getting one without the upcurve at the back might help. Hate the ‘speed holes’ in the swingarm.

Can't fault the workmanship and finish, but that swingarm looks horribly weak and spindly. Colour is definitely 70's bathroom suite, though.

Tis purdy and well made,lots of nice little attention to detail.

It definitely cants toward the form over function,which is always going to polarise opinion.

I actually quite like it, especially the digital dash.

I even like the gold stand.
