    you can be a sad little man some days, it's not run of the mill follow everyone else's build, it's an old 750 twin that still has grunt and it's gonna suit someone that wants something different and clean and tidy. How many bikes out there actually fulfill there purpose of design versus use to even 50% of their life, fuck all, a lot are just for sunday coffee, i though you'd know that by now
    i think this is refreshingly cool compared to a lot of shit out there.

    Still not giving you 15k for it, stooopid.
    I quite like that as well but I bought my ZRX1200 for a third of that....

    Some dork on FB had avertised a piece of shite XJ650 for a similar price. It was the truly tragic brown seat, paint job, remove stuff and voila a scrambler. His interpretation was off the mark...

    To be honest I'm concerned my 500 will have a similar range as a small tanked 750 .

    I just don't understand people who treat motorcycling like some kind of hobby.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    That doesn't make your idea of motorcycling the right one. Fuck, I dont remember the last time I rode a bike on the road. I'm still a motorcyclist though.

    Wow that's nice. Personally not a fan of trackers/scramblers but this guys got skills. Just needs a nice round analog speedo.
    The bar end mirror is really nice.

    Yea, I think that's top5 worst things I have ever seen. The absolute first question I have is why the absolute fuck would you put USD forks on a god damn GN... what a complete waste of money.
    Second, it's NOT a cafe racer (hipster racer), it's a tracker at best. Upgraded the front forks, stock rear suspension. Hideous front mudguard off like a fucking quad bike or some shit. Seat shorter than the subframe and is bigger than my Cx500's stock seat and that's fucking saying something. Rear mudguard ugly. These weird half flame things on the tank. Just the whole black/red colour scheme is god awful. It's a god damn GN.
    It's so awful, I can't stand to look at it but can't pry my eyes away from it at the same time.

    People aint turning heads because they think it's cool, lets just put it that way.

    They don't seem to put up any mileage either going by the way most of these bikes seem to get sold shortly after they have been completed (and used in the loosest manner).
