Looks stunning,  How it goes and handles may well be a different story.

My brother had one just like this one back in the late 70's.

I rode it when it came into my mates possession in 84, but it was shipped off to NZ a couple of years later.

It had an evil kickback on it which broke a mechanics ankle when he tried to kick it over when he did some electrical work on it for my mate.

These Isolastic frames were based on the featherbed frames. They were actually pretty good when new.

[komp]

when you are reminded of what it started off as its even more impressive

That cafe racer really is very nice.
A huge amount of work has gone into it.

Shiny - no. Green - no but the bike aside the final colour scheme is lush.

My first big bike at 17 was a 1970 Norton 750 Fastback, whistling pipes and a tls front brake.  It was a great bike ruined by silly problems that should have been factory-sorted, like the solid external oil lines that fractured, dumping a gallon of Duckhams Q over my rear tyre, the silly points ignition with the innards that fracture, bit of a theme here ..... vibration.  A set of the Mark 3 isolastic mounts, a flexible oil line, and electric ignition and it was a fine bike. 

Another one I should have kept, sob.

The green one is lovely, it must have taken a lot of skill and effort to make it look that simple.
