Found this little gem at the bike show today. Thought I'd share it with you guys. What ya think? Beautifully put together and I thought tastefully done. Especially the swing arm and xaust. Always food for thought these things.

I don't even think they do real Bargains at them any more. Buy the time you've paid to get in, its not even the cost they might have knocked off for a " show special" That Ally Pally show I went to there was a small Kawasaki stand ( 4bikes) a Honda stand ( showing the butt ugly new Goldwing ) and lots of very cheaply made, and looking, biking clothes, ( probably made in the back streets of Calcutta, Birmingham or Bradford ) Not on my back thank you

I only go to check out any new bikes.
Actually never found that the "show deals" ever make up for the cost of admission.

It looks better in the flesh. Some of the bits on it not to everyones taste. Let me know once you've seen it. Have a good show and don't spend all your pocket money!!!

Yea will do, taking littleun (16 and not so little now) so can have some fun with the bike girlies without looking like a purve lol, like the the engine mods and swingarm, not at all keen on the seat conversion tho, kinda like the retro look personally.............

It was nice to pop up to the show, to see some of the new machinery available. Nothing particularly exceptional stood out really However, did purchase a PowerTech stubby can at a very reasonable price, so made it a worth while visit
