Apart from the front suspension travel, what's not to like about it!

I don't think there's any of it I like, it looks well done, but it also looks like it's got no wiring or battery to start it and run.

It's a kicker, so the battery only needs to be small to support the LED (no doubt) lights and the alternator will produce enough juice when running to give sparks.

Either that or (highly doubtful) they've fitted a magneto and are running the lights off a battery (ie total loss electrics with not charging circuit). That's the way the JAPton is set up, but then it's only running a tail/brake light and a horn. (I must get some LEDs for the tail/brake to eke out the 6v charge a bit longer).

I like the simplicity. It'd be a hoot to just bomb about doing the local shopping, hitting a few bars and the beach.

My first bike was a Suzuki T250 and it had exactly the same tank detail. It came stock in green,but I sprayed it black just like this bike.

Gave me quite a turn,because I have no pics of my machine and it set off all kinds of memories.

Put me down as a like,aside from the 5mm of fork travel,that's form over function.
