Did it trip over and fall in the Aprilia paint spray booth? :wtf: Hideous paint scheme aside, its probably a hoot to ride, so I'm torn on whether to like it, or loathe it?

I bet it's a right barrel of laughs to ride, but visually it's a bit all over the place.There's no real theme as such. And it would look a lot better with a 'period' headlight rather than that Motogadget LED thing. My memory of TLS drum brakes is that they were grabby as a grabby thing when cold, but faded away gently when they got hot. Two of them up front will make for even more entertainment.

I had two RD400s, I didn't like either of them (the reason for having two of them was I didn't believe how bad the first one was, so I swapped it and some cash for a newer one, that was just as crap)

What a mess.
