It looks very smart but those Ohlins are surely just for show. In handling terms you might as well put a penguin on a skateboard.
Also, bar end mirrors? Ick.

It'll probably never get used in anger, but I wonder if the gearbox is up to being hammered up and down using a quickshifter?

Agree, that's very nicely done as these things go and I wouldn't be embarrassed to ride this one- particularly the sweep and shape of the exhausts and the tank make it for me.
The only things that detract from it are the gash bent fluid reservoir bracket, and chrome mirrors, which would be better in black IMO

Certainly evokes the shape and spirit of the 50's/60's cafe racers.
