The white in the mid-section makes it look very portly. The colour scheme could certainly work if the whole thing wasn't so 'slabby'. Big areas of a single colour can work, but this doesn't. Sorry.

I like it in theory and it's well spec'd, but It's not fluid enough in how the tricolore has been applied.. and it seems like the panniers were a colourful afterthought.

Suppose it'd be a good base to tweak though

I might be interested in a part/ex + cash for an older, smaller, much cheaper bike, (no British or Japanese) particulary a 1950/60s Italian in need of TLC.


Please also look at my Ducati ST2 listed on Ebay.
So does he buy 'em cheap, do 'em up and flog 'em?
