Why?

Why go to all the time and expense just to prove that you really shouldn't have bothered?

And just buy an H2R instead.

And save a big wodge of dosh.

And wind up with a much better bike (to be fair that wouldn't be difficult, but...)

Why?

What is it?? A GPz with an H2 seat??
An H2 made to look sort of like a GPz?

But then, an identity crisis is probably the least of it's issues.

It looks like a cut-n-shut with a 90s front half and a modern rear-end.

Can we organise a whip round to pay for someone to go round and take his tools away ?

Meh, almost every single bike with the words Cafe Racer mentioned has looked worse on every level so although I'm no fan, Ive seen far worse with people tossing off over em.

Plus, it's not a zed, its a GP bigZed.

To be fair, that's true of the vast majority of specials.
