That old race style tail unit needs a more endurance race style tank to balance the look out but other than that I think I like it.
Likely not particularly fast but those Kawasaki triples just sound amazing so I'll forgive a few things for the sound.

It's like putting a shiny cover on a 1970s phone. Why?

So it has mudguards, air box, indicators and lights so all good here.

Looks like something you get in a pack of Shreddies instead of a plastic whistle.

Does absolutely nothing at all for me.

Cos new bikes do as much for me as old bikes do for you. New bikes sound like sewing machines where as hearing this crackle into life would stir my very soul!

Give it a 'normal' headlight and black spannies instead of the bling ones and then it would be a really good looking bike I like the period seat unit but it needs tilting a couple of degrees forward and the upholstery needs doing properly & slimmer.
The engine is still the focus, which is good.

@Yorick If it was a Z650 motor then yeah, I'd agree.,
But, you can't get a 2021 model air-cooled 3 cylinder 2 stroke. This is an iconic engine, wrapped in a decent chassis, modern suspension, wheels etc and not hidden behind a race fairing. I forgive it

I was thinking much the same...

But overall - and minus the silly smoked lens on the headlight - I like that.
