I don't like it and I feel like I should.
The paint scheme does it no favours, it's dull

It's a thug in a gentleman's outfit.

That combo works ok for me.

Even on the paddock stand you can see the forks are far too short.

I think its just quite a high paddock stand, and a lot of ( possibly too much?) rear ride height creating that illusion - Am not really a fan of GSXRs, but I really like the look of this one :thumbup:

The forks look about the same length as stock, the rear is quite high though.

I'd be surprised if anything modern was as long as an old Slingshot. 760mm from top to middle of the Axle if I mind right.

I've gone the whole hog. Modern engine, frame, brakes etc, with modern looks. :banana-dance:
