Stunning......I ve lusting over this bike on cafe racer for the last few months, with Xmas just around the corner how do I bring this to my wife's attention?

Its not really working for me.
Tank/seat unit is ok, and I do like the lines of the seat.
But the exhaust is a bit odd really. Doesn't flow with the lines.
The colours are just over the top. A particularly gaudy shade of red, mostly in the wrong places (the red calipers and brakelines are particularly nauseous) and jarring heavily with the orange/gold forks. And the funny paint on the wheels just looks dirty.
Pearl white paint could look great if used with subtlety, something like JMo's bike, but here its lost in a sea of confusion, made more complicated by the chequered tank stripe.
And is that the dreaded knuckle-duster on the rearsets ?
Oh dear, I seem to have ended up doing a demolition job on someone's pride and joy. Apologies for that, but I can't help my opinions. As always, its the builders opinion that counts. .....though he is selling it.
What also counts for me, is that I would honestly much prefer my own, 12yr old, moderately standard 750, which is worth less than a quarter of the asking price for that.
Liz's prize winning S2R is a far prettier bike too.
Considering the mileage too, I'd say its overpriced.
Again, apologies for being negative. Thats just how it looks to me.

If it was mine, I would repaint it, but I would love to own it, I like most of what he has done.
