I am more happy to hear criticism of the concept. I have chosen the SV as it's a wonderful engine, that provides just enough power for road riding.

I thoroughly enjoyed the riding experience, and I want other people to enjoy riding bikes I would make.

The 4k figure is an important one, as any lower and it isn't a viable idea.

I have been looking in to Cafe style bikes for a while, and I have found that the price is either too high (£10K+) or the bikes are of dubious quality. So I'm targeting people who may want a new bike experience, but don't want to spend all that cash (£10k for a 600 inline 4???) for a brand new bike.

Who wants a bike that started off as a poor quality non-runner and has just had a lick of paint?
