Portia CB650 - I agree, the details on this bike are wonderful.

What a sexy bike front to back. Im not a fan of the aesthetics of the 650 motor so it being covered up works for me...lol.
The finish of the seat, orientation of rear lights and the foot pegs are my favorites.

And where did they find that hydraulic drum brake?

Yeah, what he said, that's really neat!  Pretty spiffy exhaust too.
intrigued by the wail...seduced by the scream.

I like the creative take on the overall look. Endurance tanks are just cool and I've never seen an exhaust like that on a 650.

The writeup comes off as drivel written by a graphic designer, but that's par for the course with custom bike sites like these.
