I like it!
But the low bars/rearsets may be a step too far for me.

It's neither fish nor fowl, the forks and brakes look stupid.

The brake ducts are just plain silly, and the 'Mellow' type face is rubbish. The rest is OK though.

The old/new Bell brings back the memories of badly fitting,drafty lids with screwed on visors which were scratched to bollox and back after a couple of wipes.
The bike's ok,but I don't like the paintjob much,it's a bit Zippy,George and Jeffrey.

It's not hideous,however it reminds me of a Enfield continental with a fairing & 'Rainbow tribute' paint sheme.
I just don't see the point of the USD forks & blingy brakes on this style of bike

These retro colour and style stripey paint jobs always make me think of blank VHS cassettes.

In opposition to Bustaspoke, I don't like the paint job, at all. Also, fine, you put Ohlins on but you don't need the stickers to remind everyone. Or the Pirelli stickers. Or the 59 ones.
