Anyone's 'cuppa tea'?

The Pointy looks good but not sure of the curvy style

I agree. The curvy still has a very modern looking frame to do a retro style body on. It looks half way there. Maybe with the frame painted dull black you'd get away with it but the upswept rear says modern again. The old bikes were very level designed wereas modern bikes are more ass up. Only moto guzzi gets away looking good (to some) with this stuff. But they do a good job if you ask me.
