That is one seriously-good-looking bike!

Not sure about the price though??

No doubt he/she is chopping it in for a HP2.

Now that looks v nice indeed - in fact it's the first 12S where a bellypan has looked right on one imho. :)

You're right there!

Where do you start?

Easy to spot are;

wrong cans;
wrong bellypan;
red line too deep
wrong head protectors
silver frame

...no wonder he's selling it!

I think you're being a touch too critical :?

It is a stunning bike, all the same.

Nice bike - The Van Harten bike has got loads of mods - some so suttle and others not so.
How he spent 15 grand though is beyond me.

I like the way the checquer plate is reflecting off the belly pan - makes me want to get a sheet of it and hammer out a belly pan in nothing but checquer plate...
