Title: Nice looking R75/6

Nice looking custom from an R75. I just can't imagine getting very far with that itty bitty gas tank.

You really think this bike was built to ride?

Just like some of my girlfriends from the past - interesting to look at, but a bear to live with on anything approaching a regular basis.    

My legs would probably require extensive surgery after 1 hour on this machine just to get them unbent!

As a styling exercise I think it looks great.  But only to be bought out for a summer run down to the shops or to show.  

As well as the small tank, that still has the master cylinder and coils, and whatever abbreviated electrics under there, it still does not have a front fender.

I particularly like the rear end.  The first time I have really liked this sort of single 'tractor' seat setup.  The rear fender setup is particularly nice.

If slightly modified/toned down, I could ride a bike like this.
