Be nicer if they could do something better with the indicators.

Remove some of the red anodised parts and that would look a lot better, otherwise it just looks like it's rolled in Pro-bolts.

Bit of money spent there,I'd reckon.

I agree with KFB on the indicators,but it's a hard one to judge,because trick LED jobbies look wrong on an older bike.

I loved my 900R and I'd love a ride on that for old time's sake.

The rear is ok, if they could put the fronts in the mirrors or mount them on the radiator or something it would look loads betterer.

I like that a lot, the indicators dont bother me as they are the standard ones that, to me, look right on the bike and tiny ones wouldnt

The others are right though about the anodised red stuff, doesnt fit with the bike and plain/black coated ally would look better

Loved my 750R and i still do the "wonder how much one would be" on Ebay every now and again after a beer or two :D

That looks like a pretty standard 900R with a fancy front end, exhaust and some bolt on catalog stuff à la special lad with the Bandit (was it Belwood?). Maybe slightly higher bars.

I'm not saying that's a terrible thing. And standard indicators FTW!

Sanctuary do some really nice stuff but they've not really smashed it with that one, I think I'd prefer a standard red one.

Obviously modified bikes are an individual taste thing and I'm glad there are people still buggering about with bikes like this though.

Is it Kawasaki day? I had one of these as well, but in red and silver. It was peaky but I now realise that was probably due to the 4 into 1. I never dyno'd it but I bet that pipe was causing a trough in the midrange. You live and learn. Hopefully.

Was is it with some specials and the colours used? It's like my kids doing a colouring in deciding a Spitfire would look better with a few odd blue, gold and pink bits just cos.
