Certainly vey clean.
I'm not keen on these short front ends, it just slightly upsets the stance and then the rider is permanently in race-mode

Another raft of modded bikes that will be let down by mismatching wheels.

Looks better with the front mudguard on!

There was a bloke, I think he was a jurno, had a very trick one with RGV250 bodywork back in the day.

Yeah green one, sitting in a barn in France somewhere iirc.
