Yeah but i like the way that gives a slight change of lines over the straighter fairing. Otherwise it's going to look a bit 900SS/cheap swingarm potentially.

Could have given it a superbike style chunky one I reckon. The fairing wings are a bit silly too, I didnt notice them at first.

I agree on them bits, but they felt it massively added stability. Be interesting to know how much is a placebo or real.

I can see where they might help against sidewinds. We've all done the thing where you stick your knee out into the wind and it helps as long as until your hip hurts. More than that... Idk, but I believe them enough to be interested to try it.

So weird to see a bike without two hand levers as well. In fact the footpegs don't have any controls either. Thumb operated rear brake I'm guessing, judging from the two reservoirs.

I've looked at it some more, it's not ugly, but it's not good looking either, for me it's "meh"
It does remind me of the Dunstall Suzukis of the late 70s.

It's nothing new, just a well proven "look" wrapped around a different motor & big battery. Nothing wrong with that, but it's just alright.

It's not the worst thing I've ever seen,but nothing about the looks makes me lust after it.
I get the Dunstall comment from the cheesy one.


Judging by the clobber on turnup man,it's a hipster vibe.

My Dad used to pinch it from work so I had Guitars and all sorts in that colour. It has mentally scarred me, like custard creams (the only biscuit we ever got as kids bleurgh)
Ha...it is, isn't it? Maybe that's why I like it, subconsciously reminds me of the trains set i had as a kid.
