Shame to use the bits to build something that hasn't been ridden and probably never will be - beautifully done but, at the end of it, it's just an ornament.

...But if I was a multi-millionaire I would still buy it and run it ( carefully!) on my private race track. The anti-dive front brakes are a blast from the past but those AP callipers probably couldn't match modern Brembos.

I'd put mandlebars on it and ride the hell out of it.

If I was a multi-millionaire I'd buy it - and come and watch Roadster and Skub ride it like they stole it.

All that work and they put on a fairing that's as much use as a chocolate teapot
