I quite like it. It was a custom build but they are developing a bolt on kit based on this.

I like that a lot and I don't like the standard scrambler at all.

Yup totally agree. I don't hate the scrambler but it doesn't make me want to rush out and buy one, this on the other hand.. wondering if I can sell a child.. ]:)

That's nice looking. Not OTT.

It looks uncomfortable. Other than that it's cool.

Seat looks as or more comfortable than most cafe racer seats I've seen.

I'll go along with that. I tried a tricked out Thruxton that was similar....couldn't wait to get off the thing.

They're a one-tank-bike as far as I'm concerned...and that's fine too, but I wouldn't want one as an only bike.

If I ever get a cafe racer it would definitely not be my only bike.
