Apart from the obvious clangers, sort of close to original but with a few nice touches, there's way better out there though.

Not so keen on the seat & rear mudguard or that toast rack on top of the tank,but other than that,it looks like a nice retro ride.

The same bike but not in that colour, you say? You're in luck!

Have to say I quite like them.

Quite like it but.................

It needs twin clocks
The back end looks sawn off
And both colours are 'orrible, turd brown or goose-shit green.

Touring it is not, unless your man follows in the car with the luggage.

Fix the sawn off rear end, give it a RH mirror and a rev counter, repaint it in British Racing Green and I'm in.

Prefer that one. A bit less blingy shiny things. Some very nice touches/well engineered bits and bobs but there's a mirror missing. As Busta said, perfect for the Gentleman's Rides but the back end needs finishing if you're going out in the wet. I like the 'Grand Tour' luggage, perfect for two pairs of chuddies and a toothbrush. :lol:

What rear mudguard??

You're going to get a wet back, it's not a 'tourer'

Probably very nice, but it might as well have been painted beige, as there are no discerning features for me at all!

Bloody lovely!

But if I had to choose one, it'd be the green one.
