Afraid it's not my taste, but hey! I've probably got no taste anyway!!

I'd probably have one of those, too.

Interesting, different, not a boring "one of a million", like so many of the bikes we see today.

Probably all down to my age...over 50!! I've heard true taste disipates rapidly after you reach 30 is this true?

Well, what I meant is you are old .... but so are a quite a lot of us ....

But remember Len Vale-Onslow was still riding aged 100 - so there's plenty of hope for us all

I spose some of Rich's ceramic coating on headers and frame might do it.

I know what you mean 0071..I reach the big five 0 this year ...argh!!!!...and I don't think the old shoulders would cope for long

.

But it would be a blast for an hour or so

I understand they do frames for Aprilia's ...be nice to see one eh.

It's not the rider position..honest!! I think it's about trying to hide ugly fat when you're past the 50..and this bike's ugly fat is those hideous welds!!!..and yes I love the blast!!

Certainly proves in my opinion the yanks have no style or taste in bikes, cars or fashion, an ugly bike and a load of crap designs.

Reminds me of meccano as a kid.

Lovely looking bike...for the track..

Those welds are shocking! I know theyre 'state of the art' but theyre bloody ugly!! Like Akropovic exhausts... Theyre bloody ugly welds, but everyone just goes 'oooh! Akro!!' and theyre seen as more of a thing of beauty..

Emperor's new clothes....

Bloody hell ......out of the woodwork came the weld police

yeah ok I agree (only partly) the colour is the problem...the welds themselves are good, but the colour makes it STAND OUT

I suppose I like them due to being surrounded by Triton's and Cafe Racers as a kid ..I used to help my uncle make them so I am quite partial to stripped bare specials.

Each to their own eh
