It doesn't do a lot for me I've got to say. In the flesh it looks like its a 'sit up and beg' with drop bars and a naff bikin fairing. I think they could've done better :D

Aye, like putting in a silky smooth, powerful LC engine 8)

Price is definitely the clincher.
OK it's had some of the classier parts replaced by cheaper items, but they look more authentic, and I very much doubt that away from the track, anyone is really going to notice any difference (USD forks, Radial brakes etc)
I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I thinks it is drop dead gorgeous.
I'd go for the cast wheels over wire spokes option though.
Inner tube tyres is taking the retro thing a little too far for me.

as promised Fontana, the pic showing the std R NineT Akrapovic that my boss popped on .... as he disliked the original Racer pipe (and removed the "decibel killers" from) fits to the standard Racer mount
