NICE!

Lets see if it passes the MrLB test though, IIRC he's a big fan of the original MT-01.

Very well done that.

I like it. But I'd prefer a standard one. Looks like they go for pretty decent money these days.

Nothing wrong with an MT 01 . Secondhand priced will show you that

However, that is rubbish

What's wrong with it? Doesn't look any worse than lots of others.

Don't want one but can't see why it's getting all the flak.

I dunno why you'd put that 'Sports' tail, 90s 50pence streetfighter nose-fairing and GP exhaust on it - what a mess - these bikes lend themselves far more towards cruiser than sports.

I'd say that thet the ORCO improves in every single way over the MT-01 original. Build quality is superb and the ORCO looks so much visually lighter, as well as being actually lighter . Nor sure if I'd want one, but it's quite a piece of work.

It looks like he really wanted one of those Kawasaki transformer looking bikes but got stuck with that and a load of spare fibreglass.
