Nice looking machine......but, i think my belly and the back of the tank would be competing for the same space.  :cry2:

Strikes me as more cool-looking than practical

GSXR (slingshot) not GSX.

It's air/oil cooled and alloy frame not air cooled and steel frame.

Why the f#ck would you cut holes in the frame to put mesh panels in?

Some really nice touches married to quality components that makes something almost 30 years old look very modern, practical NAH, would I buy NAH, will it perform, who knows? What it does do is draw attention and inspires with some of the ideas for those who like customising a bike to personal tastes.
Lets face it, if we all bought bikes for practicality its likely we would all be riding scooters.
These days and  for a lot of riders, bikes are owned for status, sunny Sundays and short duration rides to local meets, and for those who don't fall into this category I would be amazed if they didn't notice or give a second look if they saw this parked up.
My cap is tipped to the builder of the bike even though it would makes no sense me owning it.
