A keeper or not?
A bloke won this in one of those competitions Tinpan likes. Would you keep it or sell it?
I think it's quite well done,but very blingy for my tastes.

No matter how good it is to ride I wouldn't want to be seen on it in public.

Re: A keeper or not?
I wouldn't even enter.
I'd say immediately sell it, but in reality I'd sell it at a massive knock down after trying for about 3 years.

Re: A keeper or not?
What's the nose fairing from, it has the look of a CCM R30 but I think they used the lights from another bike. Aprillia possibly, they seem to be popular for borrowed parts.
I'd keep it but use it as a base for a project. Sell off or paint the bling. And then sell it.

Should do a bit more than 120, too, with a genuine 70 hp, I would have thought.

I'd keep it, but ditch the fairing and tone the bling down.

Re: A keeper or not?
You can get 70bhp from them, the crank doesn't last long, and they do a lot more than 120mph with 70bhp, a standard one will do somewhere between 115 and 120, and they've got 50ish bhp.
That one is truly hideous, I'd sell it to which ever fool is willing to buy it.

Re: A keeper or not?
Love it but then I really like restomods. Plus it'll crackle and spit through its spannies. If you don't like that you must be well bent!
I didn't buy tickets for it as I've no where to put it and as fun as it probably is, the mighty MT-09 would slay it in every way possible!
