I don't mind that, it's better than most R series customs.

That's OK, although the seat and grips are a bit meh. Make them dark blue or burgundy and you'd have a winner. And while you're at it, a bit less of the dark and moody photography. It's the detail that counts and most of that is hidden.

I like that. Pure bike, no frills, no bells or whistles.

Not elevated.

It's ok, nicely done etc. Café racers don't do nuffink for me I'm afraid.

(Spell checker thinks nuffink is muffins. I like that. 'Café racer? Well, it's better than muffins I suppose').

Yup, like the look of that - well as much of it that I can see in the moody lighting, don't mind the brown seat either, only downside for me would seam to be too much effort to put in for a 50hp lump, want more power from a "big" bike.

I like old beemer airheads,so I'm in that far at least. It's a decent,if unremarkable styling exercise,shot in low lighting to suit. For once the cliched brown seat and grips actually fit the bike quite well.

Would I ride it? Higher or at least flat bars and yes I would. I somehow doubt I'd pay what it may cost,though...
