Just a change of name and color scheme. Same ridiculous Meccano swingarm. Meh.

This one has a fairing - that's the only difference other than colour/name I can see. I was underwhelmed before and I am no more whelmed this time around... :D

It's top quality but, in the end it's another Triumph café racer.

I'm half hoping rat bikes make a comeback so that all the chrome and polishing gets a rest. :lol:

Some of their bikes would be welcome in my garage, others are more suited to the bucket at the abortion clinic. This is one of the latter.
