Common aesthetic upgrade on these bikes... Not a massive performance gain, but pretty.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It looks long and high, apart from that it's nice, I'd fit shorter rwu forks and lower the back end to match, but that's my taste and hardly major changes.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Being 6 foot 1 maybe thats why i subconsciously like it more as i found original LC's very cramped. Its an RGV250 swingarm and GSXR400 USD forks plus one off yokesJulian_Boolean wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 12:12 pmIt looks long and high, apart from that it's nice, I'd fit shorter rwu forks and lower the back end to match, but that's my taste and hardly major changes.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Being 5'7" I'm probably the opposite (though riding Enduro bikes I couldn't touch the floor on never bothered me)
Surprised the forks are GSXR400, I had a GK76 and it was a compact low bike (it was also fantastic handling)

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Perhaps not particularly unusual, or interesting for some but I absoloutely love this.

I will admit to having a soft spot for Gileras but I think this particular model was a lovely looker and it's my bike of choice for the Motogiro, which I will do, one day!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I've really warmed to this. I'd quite like a stripped back bike like that, but not with those vibey old tyres on.
