Come on Simon..... that is "proper". The manufacturers rarely make a "Proper" bike... they just make something the average "Joe Public" stereo type might buy.

As an individual I like to fine tune a bike to what I want - not that I ever get it spot on :lol:

Some corporate produced UJM who churns out millions of similar bikes is never going to make something exactly to suit us all - they steer us into limited choices ...... :!:

Being in the minority is what it's all about for me - "If I have to explain..."

Mark I totally get your point about individualism, I'm all for that, but my comment was mainly about the choice of Z750 twin for this kind of bike, it seems like a heavy old underpowered lump to use in a crosser, exactly the opposite of what would be needed? I could be wrong, usually am

It does look nice though, I'll give you that. Maybe some higher bars, lower seat and kicked up rear end would help, like a crosser bobber streetfighter :twisted:

Simon...... agree it'll never get far off road - so that extra heavy, under powered motor won't matter :lol:

but it does have a kickstart which adds kudos :!:
