Color me unimpressed. Looks like how the Mad Max apocalyptic bike gang would fix up a wrecked FZ-07 without the benefit of Partzilla.
Then again, may be that's the point.

Shinya's version of the 700 was much cooler:

I thought the FZ07 was already a very handsome bike. This is much be a thing for an European itch that I have never felt the need to scratch.
"Retro-Modern"
is - quite literally - an oxymoron.

If Honda decided to remanufacture an updated version of the 1967 305 scrambler, I would stand in line for days just to place a deposit.

I like it. It'd make a great scrambler, or a street tracker. Or, leave it as is of course.
