    Gorgeous! That olive green is a great choice. Nickel plating explains why that much of it doesn't look like too much. It's so much nicer, and less in-your-face, than chrome.

    That's is one of the cleanest bikes I've seen, and definitely the best looking Kawasaki ever.

    Beautiful machine. The seam weld on the fuel tank really was a great idea. Those ugly seams on the bottom of alot of tanks really make any bike look cheap on an otherwise great machine. Love it.

      Consider swapping your RE650 for one of these! It'll make sense when you ride it with the origional format build from the origional BSAs of old.

    Saw this bad boy at the London show (I think) the video although brilliant does not do justice as to the quality of this build. Doing something in a similar style with a 75 KZ 750 twin, but nowhere this build in talent and budget.

  • @tonycamplin8607
    @tonycamplin8607 2 года назад

    A fantastic bike and build. One criticism those exhaust pipes look very low to me and consequently there's not much ground clearance when off road which is presumably the machines intended use.
    Not wanting to be too critical but this bike is far too new for me and so not a classic.
