The 155 looks better than the bigger ones, it's not as humpy, what we need is an XSR350 (actually what I want is an XSR350, a bit different to what's needed)

That's a big old bus. Nice tip of the hat to the old beemers,with the paintjob.

Interesting design & construction:

Fork tubes.
The material chosen is also classic: metal.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

Would be a hoot to ride. Hate the side number boards. And XB wheels always looked like they came from a cheap moped.
