dunno why - but that looks all wrong. It is too tall for its length. Or is that just me? And it is the tank that makes it look out of proportion!

The frame on the MT/FZ/XSR really doesn't lend itself to neat customs.
Even Yamaha can't make the XSR tank fit the frame properly.

This graphics kit on a standard MT-09 looks better IMO. OK give it a single seat and stuff but fundamentally, its better proportioned...

It's a decent stab at the old TZ750 flat tracker. The seat unit and 'blockiness' of the wasp make it look older,less modern than the one GP posted.
I like them both for different reasons.

That.
I'm a little surprised at the lack of love for the "flat tracker". I think it's a great modern take on it.

I think its a good take on a flat tracker, the issue is the speeed block paint job clashes with the line of the modern frame.
Maybe if you put a decent rear end on the standard one, gave it the gold wheels and other shizzle it would look just as good. Maybe the special wold look better in IT Yamaha blue or White it would work better?
