I liked the cafe.

Some serious talent there, regardless your opinions and would be a fine entry to someone's stable.
These hand built one-offs are usually require endless mechanical attention.
I likey, but not a cross-country cruiser for me.

Looking at the background in the photos and the bike appears to be in a well organised workshop, things kept neat and tidy, diagrams up on the white board etc. Seems like a methodical approach has been taken by someone that pays attention to detail. Parts of the frame taped up etc to protect them while the bodywork is being made and test fitted. If it was the same person that put it back to standard then they have probably done a decent job of it.

There's no doubt some serious talent and hours upon hours of labor went into it. Just not my style.

Thank you guy for your replies. After a better analize I have found a few changes that makes me away of the deal.
The characteristic red light of the RPM gauge has gone, 3 holes in the swingarm, magnesium covers polished which don't keep the bright, the right swicht of the handlebar isn't the OEM, etc, etc
