That does look very good John, I'll have to put a pic on the FB page once it's finished!

Should there be a "Kitten" Forum in the models Section?

I sorta fancy doing one myself now...

Finally complete, seat cover on, but foam a bit bubbly underneath, edge trim put on tank seam to just tidy it up, fill it with fuel and its all done and dusted.

slight extra, the petrol proof laquer i used isnt, so a tiny spill has crazed the side of the tank. so, new stickers and paint ordered and some real clearcoat 2k to protect it all, sometime soon it will be getting another paintjob on the tank. it isnt immediately noticable, but i notice it so im going to redo the tank.

ok, so cut to today, a few weeks back i found a link to a supposedly new suzuki learner bike, its name doesnt seem to be familiar so perhaps nobody has spotted the link, but im struggling to find any info aside from a few official looking pics, the bike is listed as a gf125u, its got kat styling and a twin cam 4 valve 125cc engine, but i cant find any info other than these pics, some suggest that these pics are from this year, but some other posts suggest these photos are over a decade old. but if this is real, i want to find a fairing and some clocks!!

It was a 2012 model made for Hong Kong market and obviously surrounding markets.
I tried cotacting a chap in Hong Kong but recieved no answer ...possibly busy offending the authorities or keeping his head down!
Would love the fairing and clock for my 125 aswell. Maybe you'll have more luck.
