My 7R was just as bad, OK on the road but on a hot track day the damping went out the window as the shock over heated.

There were some properly ugly bodykits around for bikes in the 70s, weren't there?

The old stuff really doesn’t do much for me but I do have to agree with you on this one.

Stolen from the Knox Friendface page...
Felix Béla Bettenworth from Landshut sends us his dad´s Yamaha TDR250 with a RD350 ypvs (upgraded to 390cc) engine, ZX10R front fork (+20mm), Öhlins shock, self weldet Aluminum swing arm, 17 Excel wheels, adapted Racing-Exhaust, V-Force with 35mm Keihins, carbon fairing, R1 brake caliper and Magura Brake pump. An insane project! Thanks for sharing!
It's not pretty, but I'd love a go.
