For some reason I was expecting a Velocette. Unlikely, but there we go.

I like the fact that they've got close to 100bhp out of the carbed 865cc motor but don't like the styling or the stupid tyre choice.

And the "Gullwing" link is tenuous at best...

But they also have them on the front down tubes. Centre stand looks a bit cumbersome. Quite like it though.
