A well done British bike warms the soul. I can overlook the rear suspension choice. I'd ride that down to the hubs and push it to the nearest biker bar in my state and STILL have the coolest bike in the lot.

Now a 74 Norton Commando Roadster with Dunstall pipes, black with gold pin striping,some K81 Dunlop tires, that turns my crank!

I will say that a huge aesthetic failing of these modern interpretations is black wheels. They just don't look good to an eye with any sense of proportion and balance. On this bike, I would say tank "yes" engine "yes" headlight "yes" wheels "no" fenders "no" seat "no" rear suspension "yes with aesthetic reservations".

My favourite aspects is the lump and the chromed tank.
