Well it's got a DG cylinder head, anodised gold, but it's missing the diamond stiching on the seat.
Those spannies are just some fabricator showing off!

1 brake disc, the mounting points for the other calliper left on. 2/10 poor effort

Stupid, hideous exhausts and the cylinder head needs hammeriting, but apart from that I like it!

Crossed over headers are a more elegant way of keeping the length but having the pipes stop short at the back of the bike.

Quite an interesting effort,I hate the chopped down too-short rear end, and that they haven't removed the caliper mount from the RH fork leg but apart from that I quite like the look of it.
Much prefer this one though that I got from that page when reading about it.

Dull or old-fashioned/boring looking some might say, and it needs to lose the centrestand and bar ends, but I like the simplicity, and thinking in the build of this one

That's better, a TZ seat unit would look nicer.
I just found a very nice RZ250R on eBay, please somebody buy it before I end up with another 1980s Yamaha
