    Mufflers ugly, handlebars are wrong (there's something rather off-putting about drag bars), wing mirror location is questionable (even from a saftey point), suspension reservoir location... what even.., headlight too small, stock foot pegs, needs a wash, front indicator location questionable, gaiters hideous and it looks like he has gaiters in between the triple clamp wtf is up with that??, seat is beyond hideous (I don't mind brown but the shape is just all off), rims are hideous, front wheel too small, front end not lowered.

    My favorite part is that they never mention that it's a GN.

    What's the hate for them?
    Brown seats can look good with the right overall colour scheme. It's the same with black seats, there's good ones and bad ones.
    Besides, black is the safe choice, nothing wrong with a little adventure.

    A red suede seat on a limited edition MV 4 might constitute a "little adventure". On any bike I have seen a brown seat would be a deal breaker. Maybe one day???

    Dim part of my memory recalls a friends bike in the 70s with that kind of material seat cover.

    At least it would be a bit original rather than the clone army of Hipster Racer let's all be in-duh-viduals by following the closely prescribed formula.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    No I hadn't. Looks like fun. But maybe with a road version of their 2 stroke twin 500 (400) GP engine and it could be actually light and not as top end heavy.

    Wow. That sounds amazing. I hope they end up producing it.

    105 BHP and 160 kg. It sounds like my perfect bike.

    What you on about. The mesh, along with those magnificent bolt head roofing screws, is finely crafted to add that DIY appeal, plus keep the larger spiders out too:
