Afraid I can’t agree with you, but I would swop out those horrible cam belt covers and clutch cover. This is my motor. Just a shame that the plastic hides most of it.
I like both the original and the new(er) one. I wouldnt pay £30k for one though. Its a £15k bike all day long. I dont like the grey plastic belt covers either. A nice matt alloy casting that matched the engine would prob look better. Not a fan of chrome, its a pain to clean all the time.
The new one doesn't compare to the original MHR IMO, now on the other hand a 'Paul smart' Replica is a thing of pure beauty and if i had the spare dosh i would find room in my already rammed full garage...don't think the missus would notice another bike
