The downward sloped bars and rear set controls do nothing for me, they to me present an uncomfortable ridding position. So many bikes get restyled to be café racers and in that the people behind the effort feel compelled to make them awkward to ride in order to just attain a certain look. Ergonomically the position interferes with your reflexes, when ridding in traffic, it is only beneficial in cutting drag, leaning into turns, if the bike is not a race bike…there is no real need, it’s a commuter bike. I imagine fighting with the ridding position and also the lack of power from the 125cc OHV engine.

The colors are good the, the finishes all look good, however the long tank just pushed the controls back and none of it really was needed, the original never sold that well, it was a fad, a novelty bike.

But then again that seems to be Skyteams market niche. It is cool to look at, kind of like a tattoo, I like to look at them…but I do not really want one.
