There's just too much going on around the engine, just looking at it makes my head hurt.

Give it belt covers & proper fluid reservoirs, take the sponsors' stickers off and that'd be great, thanks.

What's the metal thing in the seat? Arsehole scratcher?

Get rid of the plate hanger, stickers and yellow tat - it would be acceptable then.

Has anyone done a bike in this vein where the colour scheme actually matched the gold of the Ohlins forks?? It's the one bit that always ruins the colour schemes.

Front end looks nice but that's about all,the whole bike looks a bit garish & style over function,the speedo location,for instance .

Quite like but the All Black disguises a multitude of fecking mess

Looks like it's been crashed and then tarted up

Yeah, I thought it looked a bit LC/XJ550.

It looked like it would run and manage on a normal road so again its better than 90% of these specials.
