Trouble with ebikes and scoots is keeping them safe. Popping to the shops would be great, but once Fagins kids spot it, it'll be gone. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm not sure about the CF side panels and the screen is a bit low, but she looks cool riding it (with no gloves!) and the Union Jack rad guard is a nice touch.

Careful

If it's anything like the 'jokes' thread you'll spend all evening explaining until he has an "Ah-ha!" lightbulb moment :D

Yeah. I like that paint job. More bikes should have fairings like that.

That's the Velocity kit, right? The Gauloises looks nice than the RD500 one I've seen before.

Yes,I asked him about it & he said Velocity did it for them.They also had lots of T7's in there,I asked him how come they've got so many in? He said it's because they bought in a load of them at a discount.What I noticed was some of th T7's were also in fancy paint scemes,one was in Gauloise colours with that magenta stripe/accent that the GP bikes wore in the early 90's.I can't remember if Yamaha ran a Gauloise sponsored PD bike?
