I'd have that.

Looks quite retro.

Needs a slimmer tyre up front and it's a bit shiny....looks a pig to clean when you get it muddy, but yup, I'd ride that any day of the week.

[Bustaspoke]

I like that,lots

[Count Steer]

There's a certain lack of attention to detail though.

No valve cap on the rear tyre.

I dont get why you would have a posh scrambler.

It's like suits, some for work and one for 'best'.

[mangocrazy]

Yeah, like that. Well thought out and well executed. Even has mudguards and a proper seat...

Pretty sure the oil tank filler cap would chafe my tender inner right thigh, though...

Millions of BMW GS owners can't be wrong

The idea is good, it looks well finished, but the end result is poor, it looks like the top half of a DT50 welded to the bottom half of an XT600

Yup.

Yellow headlight, brass filler cap, but no brown seat..................

[Asian Boss]

I really like that. Except the writing cut into the discs - that's a bit too 'nasty radiator protector' for my liking.

[kendo57]

looks like a Chinese bike to me

Interesting way of routing the front brake braided hose...

Interesting way of routing the front brake braided hose...

Scary, actually. It'll abrade through (and scratch what it's rubbing on) and then there's no brakes. It looks very much like they didn't have the right length hose and thought "how can we stop it flapping around all over the place - I know, we'll wrap it round the forks."

[mangocrazy]

Yes, I should have apostrophised 'interesting'...

[G.P]

I really like it. but there again I'd really like a standard XT500...
