but I'd expected something a bit classier.

Couldn't have put it better. Angling the cans just makes it look like the designer's trying too hard. Looks kinda like a wasp from the front.

If someone made a nice aftermarket set of cans for it, you painted the whole thing gloss black, changed that clutch cover for a cyclecat black anodised version, gave the lump to Neil at Sigma for a 1080 kit, removed the mirrors, and stuck slicks on it you'd have a wicked track tool. And a £20k hole in you finances.

Or you could pick a low-sided 749/8R for half that, got to be some around somewhere...
