oooh, ain't she sweet! Very pretty, it looks so tiny when it's stripped right down like that. I bet she sounds good too :twisted:
1976 GT380 - wounded by me, and sold on
2006 SV650S - killed by a patch of diesel and a kerb in Feb 2019
2017 SV650 AL7 - naked and unashamed

Nicely done!

It came out looking sharp, in proportion and while it may still haul some lbs, it doesn't "look" heavy!


I love little bikes! I have more fun riding the CB350 that I gave to my GF or my RD then my bigger bikes.

Congrats!

So, did you do anything to the little dynamo engine?

Are those Ocelot pipes or something else? They look really well tucked in - almost Japaneses in style.

Well done :)

The video posted is SR250 drive by, what's that got to do with it?
If it's not broken - don't fix it. Why not?

Is that a film or the real lens color on the headlight ? I like that a lot. Sharp bike. Nice pics too. Not a fan of café racers. But, that nicely done.
