Why Italian, rather than Nummer Eins?

That actually all looks like it's been carefully measured up to ensure it fits together - the headlight fits that fairing, for example, rather than just being wedged in the hole. And the lines flow surprisingly nicely. I actually quite like the look of the four pipes all exiting on one side...

...though I'm not sure my ears would be so keen.

And the seat's not tan! :banana-dance:

That looks really cool.

Nice work on the seat so often that’s what ruins some custom jobs.

Interesting that’s a modified R NineT Racer fairing .....he says as he wanders off to check them out.

Great to see the airbox being kept these just don’t look right with the pod filters.

I like that - except for that exhaust. Sort that and it's a very definite yes.

Aesthetics or performance,I was never keen on the brick family,boxer lumps look way cooler,but they've taken something I was already disposed to dislike and made it quite presentable.

To my eyes,that shows some cohesion of design,someone with talent was at work here and it shows.

I really shouldn't like that, but I do, even though some bits annoy me. Another quality job though. :thumbup:
