I've seen a few of their bikes in the metal and the attention to detail is unreal.

Quite a pretty little thing, not sure about the red suede seat though.

I quite like it in a "I might have been able to bend enough to fit that when I was 40 but not now" kind of way, but not convinced that an air-cooled twin, rear pot in particular, will get enough air through those holes to keep cool. Getting air flowing through a fairing and round an engine really isn't as simple as making a stylish oblong slot ahead of the front pot or the oil cooler. The 2:1 exhaust is going to stifle it too. The seat shows it's meant to be ridden in Los Angeles or Las Vegas. And they forgot to bolt a screen to the fairing too.

I am aware that beauty often sits in the eye of the beholder, but as far as a lot of these 'one-offs' go, I'd recommend the use of Optrex to get it out.

It actually reminds me very much of the Gilera Saturno 500.

One of the best bike builders out there. The lines are spot on. He makes a very nice job of something I don't particularly want, but credit where it's due.
