I like it, a lot actually, but to be complete it needs a sTp sticker on the tank!

It's not bad but, the drillium on the front brake arms looks like a failure waiting to happen. Why go to the trouble of putting holes in some things and not others? The front brake arms have holes, the rear doesn't. The headlight brackets are left plain, the brake and gear levers have holes.

I think I'd rather have a mint, standard GT750 tbh.

I don't like this one much but that's probably because I can't see past the colour scheme.

I think that is horrid

It appears to have front and rear tyres on the wrong ends and I can imagine that if those drilled brake arms fail and you were to stamp on the rear lever that would snap too. The Cobra was a bike I always wanted but was lucky enough to never afford one.

I had a T500 many years ago, I wouldn't want another one, certainly not that one

Worst bike I ever rode was "old smokey" a T250 from that era, so being a T500 it must be either twice or half as bad, either way I'd definitely hate the experience but it would all be down to what degree of hate....

The GT500 engine was good for racing but the GT550 was much better road bike.

I'm trying to get my eyes used to the loooong tank as opposed to the more rounded stock item. It make the whole bike look very long. Maybe if I'd no preconceived notion of how the stock bike looked,then I may like it in isolation. A disc up front would be preferable.

I think I'd like it better without all the stickers too.

A race rep with those bars? You're 'avin' a larf, mate. The coffin shaped tank does it no favours and the stickers just make it look cheap. Colour scheme is 'challenging' as well. And the drilling frenzy makes me nervous, as well.

So that's a nope, then...
