More of a 'street medium range bomber' than a 'fighter' I'd say. :D

It's OK apart from the mirrors and tyres + I'm not in a froth over the colour scheme.

I think I prefer the original bike.

Twin headlamps are sooo 1996.

There is something quite JU86 about it.

Not all JU86s were two stroke diesels, but I was more referring to how it looks

The belly pan is just bad.
The bike ended up looking like a bowling ball.

It's a visual mes and I imagine it would be fairly unpleasant to ride. Not even slightly impressed.

I can't decide if it's bloody glorious or bloody awful, I'd hate to have to ride it, but yeah I could sit and look at it a while I reckon.
