My very first thoughts on seeing the photo of this bike took me right back to the Honda CB200 8O
It's the colour and shade of green paintwork, and the black together that reminded me of the the CB200, although that memory will be down to my age :lol:

Most certainly a lot of skill, time and energy gone into this build.

IMHO I don't think the black stripe on the fairing complements the bike at all, to me it's going in the wrong direction. I'm also not so keen on the green paintwork either. The photo from the side doesn't do the bike justice either. This one from the front looks much better to me:

the bodywork lines aren't flowing, and the paint stripes makes it worse rather then better.

the seat is short & fat and the panels under the seat are just plain weird.

and the holes in the side of the fairings dont gel, and I think it would look better with recessed "fabio" style headlights.


but I dont have the design flair or the machining skills to do anything close to this, so I am just another internet armchair critic and should shut up! :lol:


but the new rads, the rearsets and the rear subframes look great

It's so bad Al had to tell us all twice... :lol: :lol:

Fegging ugly IMO... Still it's his bike so someone is proud of it.

Compared to the stuff produced by Buzzer this is a complete abortion. It's something I now can't unsee.

It would look a lot better without that ugly fairing in my opinion. :sick:

The front view has a look of 80’s Bol D’or 24hr to it. Unfortunately the rear/side has the look of 24 minutes with no inspiration and a tight deadline! Had the rear been tied into the front it could have been nice(ish). We’ve been spoiled with some of the one offs that have passed through here, Brinz Brittain rep VTR always stands out in my mind.
