EDIT: actually that looks like its a build to order thing.

There's a lot I like and a fair few bits I don't like. I like the TZ750 barrels being used instead of a home done porting job - I've seen it done before and it works well. I like the swingarm, wheels, forks brakes etc. The styling has been kept, that's a good thing.


What I don't like is the junking of the charging system, the dry clutch with an exposed and very ugly waterpump (no need to do this as there are upgrades for the clutch that can keep it running in oil), the horribly tacky red anodised screws and machined alloy parts. Everyone knows in 2 years time it'll look as gay a pink as you could ever hope to find.

It's a good project but not one I'd buy, especially not at that hugely overinflated price. Get a grip Metmachex, you make swingarms for road bikes and a few race bikes, but you're not exactly Moriwaki or Yoshimura.
