The Café style appeals to me at the moment and I reckon I'll build one one day.
I always figured it would be a SR or smaller multi cylinder Honda or Kawa but.............
What do you think of this?

I realise its a bit of a cross between fighter and café.

It's OK, but I think a V twin would look, and probably sound better.

The only thing I do not like is that the instruments are mounted on the handle bar clamps. I think they could have at least made some brackets or used the "N" top triple clamp and "N" instrument bracket.

+1 for me - although I probably wouldn't buy either. I do like those color matched wheels though .... Hmm, $16 says Gus. Smile

Belly pan is out of place, I like to see headers. I also wouldn't have wrapped the headers but had them Ceramic coated.

Why go to that effort and not do something about those horrible front forks. Some USD units would have made it look pretty reasonable.
