They've filled in the massive hole in the side, but with a panel that doesn't fit right.

Mad though :D

I rode an old 'wing and I surprised my self by liking it - the motor anyway - the rest of an OE 'wing is major league godawful. So anything to spruce it up is fine by me. [Edit - fook me NOT the Count's one above this though!]

This OP one is majorly disappointing because of the lack of a brown seat and not having an open triangle that small children can leap through.

I snapped this one in Saumur a few years back, looked really well done in the flesh.

They missed a trick by not renaming it a Firewing.
