Good effort, but I always think you must have to be quite a short rider to carry off the image on a cut-down SR...

This is more my cup of tea:

And this one is fantastic, like a cartoon of an AJS 7R:

You have to draw the line somewhere when spending money on a special. The owner of this bike has idea of what that means...

Liking the blue SR in the 2nd pic, clean and simple.

The Bobber's really pretty, the feet-forward position's not for me though. I'll go for the blue one apart from that headlamp unit.  :)

Blue one for me too...apart from that excuse for a headlamp and of course no fork brace!

bobber would look better with a high level straight back leg burner exhaust, and the black one would look great with a big fishtail pipe!  but i do like that bobber. just needs matt blacking!

Quite like 1,3 and 4 in their own ways... but what is it with no front mudguards  ???
Just makes bikes look unfinished and unuseable,  ::)
Funniest "look" I've ever seen from a city rider was a cb250rs rider whose front mudguard had broken on the way into work, he looked as though he'd been motocrossing, didn't look very "cool" though, just dirty, cold and wet :o :D :D

I like the minimalism of the bobber. Would prefer regular footrests, 18" wheels and a fork brace for practicality :)
