    Gorgeous! That olive green is a great choice. Nickel plating explains why that much of it doesn't look like too much. It's so much nicer, and less in-your-face, than chrome.

    A fantastic bike and build. One criticism those exhaust pipes look very low to me and consequently there's not much ground clearance when off road which is presumably the machines intended use. Not wanting to be too critical but this bike is far too new for me and so not a classic.
