How very dare they molest a lovely RD500!!!

Well, imho the original wasn't much of a looker, I really like this retromod, tho' I could do without the Landrover Defender tail lights (the swingarm is a work of art).

It's white and blue, but hardly Rothmans. As least it's not 'speed block' like every other Yamaha custom build.

It reminds me of Rothmans & that's Honda.If only they painted it in two tone blue to remind us of the Gauloise paint schemes.
Looks good apart from the colour.

It looks a bit shit, there's wiring and coils all over the place, it's not nice.

I guess they're not expecting anyone to ride it.
