This is very nice. I'll even forgive the gold bling bars and damper,though I'd change them to black.

I'd definitely lose the blingy gold bars, but would also get the swingarm painted or powder coated black to match the frame. And those bar end mirrors would have to go. Other than that, very tidy.

If they gave it USD forks, an ali beam frame, maybe a four cylinder four stroke engine and a full fairing, then I'd be on that like a tramp on chips.
