I have had a good look at the photos of that modified 750F2, & to be quite honest, i'm not that impressed. Many of the parts that could be highly modified are not. With the rolling chassis basically standard, it's only the small bits that catch the eye. Things like the swirl drill pattern on the discs are backwards & a few small holes in the rear caliper bracket do not a custom job make. Even the engine mounts are standard. The possible CNC machined tank, engine covers & rearset plates are nice, but with the standard swing arm are mounted standard chain adjusters, which are such a simple & cheap thing to modify. Even the tank is standard, except for the name plates. Sorry...not impressed. And I bet that this will not come as a cheap package either.
Bikes...they're in the blood.
