    well it depends on the colour of the donor bike whether it comes with gold forks or not, it has been produced to be sold from a honda dealers showroom so the standard exhaust and number plate would remain on the bike. it would be up the the owner to further customise it to their taste.

    i would say the painters of the rep are well respected in the racing world and paint bsb and iom bikes.

    and no i am not connected in any way to them.

    Maybe, I love a rep, just think they could have done more with it. Not knocking the quality, just missing the wow factor for me... Repsol, orange wheels etc set it off. Tt legend is just pure class and Honda though and through... This I feel is just a quick copy of Marcos bike cos he died recently IMO

    As someone said, you wouldn't see many of these if he hadn't just been tragically killed...

    Indeed... Which I don't like. Guess that's why bikes are interesting as we all like diff things.

    But usually even if something "special" is not to your taste you can appreciate it for what it is.

    This is no more special than my penguin sat in the garage tbh

    I'm afraid I agree with Jimbo, no insult meant honestly, but a basic rep job peddled out because he died.

    A replica coat should only be this basic if he's popular enough whilst alive, once he's gone in such tragic consequences, whatever is done paintwise needs to be a little bit more special and original, it needed to be more of a tribute rather than an abc rep job.

    As I said, no offence meant, just my opinion.
