Me like. A lot.

I quite like that, apart from the fairing - which looks like it's on a bit wonky. Some nice engineering.

Some nice details,such as the underseat exhausts.

It's of it's era,so modern day eyes need to adjust.

Cool to see they use a Kawa swingarm, eccentric adjusters are both function and form.

Wonder if those spannies actually work like that? Exhausts are important to how a 2t runs and they are much longer than normal?

This, the fairing is pointing up to far and doesn't really fit the style of the rest of the bike.
Love a kettle though.

You're right - good spot. Looks like the radiator is in the way for where the fairing should be mounted.

The fairing's been angled to match the line of the tank... but the whole effect is to make the bike look like it's too low at the rear.

I quite like it, it reminds me of a matchbox toy idea of what a bike should look like.

When ì was 11, that's how I imagined a bike should look like!

I like it too.

It’s not as bad as many of these!

I get what you're saying as that was my initial thought, but it does form part of the curve running into the seat unit?

I think the engineering aspect is good, if not a a little fussy. That said, it's nowhere near the worst that's been posted, by a country mile.

It seems to have bent upwards in the middle !

If that was corrected then it would work much better

I suppose that's what was intended, but the result suggests it wasn't such a good idea. It looks like it's sticking its nose in the air and that can't be great aerodynamically. As Mr Moofo says ^^ the upper half looks like it has sagged in the middle.

I still like it (I always wanted a kettle and was v close to buying one). I think this one will handle better than the original too.
