[weeksy]

This one may not be my favourite, but the finish quality and attention to detail is exceptional.

Would look better with the hole filled in...

That's the 2nd one we've seen recently, so i'm assuming they do it for a reason and think that's how it should be ?

[Yorick]

Looks ok. But where does reg plate and back light fit?

They'll be afterthoughts once the photoshoot is done and dusted

Pretty common for modern caff racers - they're all trying to declutter and move the humungous oe batteries, mess of wiring, coolant reservoir etc out of the way. 20 years ago it was all 'leather tool rolls' and chromed battery boxes crossed over from the chopper scene.

Bring back the leather roll and the tasseled jackets .... real bikers ...

[DEADPOOL]

Love all the individual parts but they do not gel together. Overall result looks like it's trying too hard to be interesting.

[Trinity765]

The front brake reservoir needs a crocheted cover.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I'm probably less biased about this one as I don't like SOHC Hondas, it looks alright and is well done, I'd have gone for RWU forks and had the headlight higher, I'm assuming the thing under the seat is an oil tank, I'd have done that differently, maybe hidden it under the petrol tank or in the tail piece.

I like the wheels.

[Skub]

Headlamp position irks me a little. Apart from that it's pretty well done. I was never a fan of those wheezy old CB750 lumps. Need a nice Z1 donkey in there!

[Taipan]

Not keen. USD front end with twin disks and a fecking great drum brake on the back, makes it look at odds with itself. I like the modern takes on old bikes but it looks like it ran out of budget? Again, teh hole doesn't work for me. Looks like somethings been nicked out of there!

[DEADPOOL]

...especially since the missing side panels were an iconic feature of that bike.

[demographic]

I can't be the only person who detests pod filters?

Generally like the look, can't stand the missing airbox and if yer gonna get rid of the battery and airbox at least turn it into a usable space for sarnies or a decent lock.
