Yeah, I spotted that one tonight myself.... I like it but it just lacks something and I can`t put my finger on it?  ;)

Yes, looks great but something not quite right, would it look better with spoke wheels? Its sitting at a very cheap price. Interesting to see what it goes for? And its just round the corner from Mark  ;)

Spokes would definitely look better, and I think it could be the seat unit just sitting a little to high at the back. I think it needs lowering an inch so the seat base lines up with the bottom of the tank  :-\  Loose the front mudguard too, change the headlight and fit some clocks  ;) Actually, the more I`m looking at it, is the more I like it....Hmmmm?  ;)

Tidy. I'd add it to my collection, if I had the money (or any collection to add it to!)

BIN price of £2995 - how's that sound to people who know?

Too dear for me lads. Thought it appeared too cheap  :-\ Though standard SRs are going for top dollar.

IMVHO , it mainly needs the front mudguard shorting back a touch and the headlight needs lowering and pushing back slightly and like Steve said just lower the seat by an inch at the back to line everything through. Apart from that I like it a lot. Wud defo have gone for the yam white and red speed block colours tho. I know it's a tad "obvious" but still a timeless colour scheme.

Junk the headlight and put those racing number plates on front and both sides to fill the gaps, lower it a bit and yes, spoke wheels and a daytime MOT.

Llanelli, just off M4, that is near me, never seen it or heard it.
