The single seat and the footrests and bars make me think he can’t get a girlfriend because he’s such a strange shape.

The writing on the seat is a bit wanky.

Love that, deffo my favourite of the crop, but I dislike the gaps in the frame where the airbox/battery etc would have been. I'd go for some infill panels if it was mine.

Lovely.
As Norvins go, that's a nice one IMO- I find most of them hideous

Yes, it’s neat and understated.

I think this one is channeling it's inner LE Velocete......

Those kinda bikes don't have an airbox though.

The Bonnie has the oil tank there on one side of course. In a rare peice of good design the fake oil tank on the other side is a toolbox. Dead useful.

Gotta be honest, i think it looks alright with the gap

The thing that really looks silly to my eyes are the 1990s brake fluid reservoirs.

Noice

Don't like the VF, single sided swing arm doesn't suit it and nor does the seat. I bet it's a pig at low speed, all that weight even higher than standard.

Whys that so interesting then.... Well it's the one they bought from me.... for £5200.... eeeek. That's not a lot of profit/deal in there is it

Straight sale or trade in?
If a straight sale that's a very tight profit margin, for their sake, let's hope it doesn't go wrong in even a minor way

That was trade in, but was for an ex-demo '19 XSR900 @ £6999 which again i'm struggling to get near even now.

That's about the closest but mine had 300 miles on it at purchase, even that one has 3500.

There's this at £7200 but again, still certain mine is better value
