If you take all of that gruesome enduro stuff of it it'd probably look OK. I don't know where it fits into the race scene though, some heathen will probably buy it and fit twin shocks.
Eric may have got it wrong occasionally but his good stuff spot on. Not sure about this one.

the alloy tank seems to be painted the same rose metallic colour as that Cheney yz465 engined protoype thingy from VMX mag a few issues back. I reckon it'd look ok with all the endurop crapola removed.

more you read the worse it gets, they were trying to build a better HL 500 about 5 years too late. Sorry I have Cheney BSA, like some of his bikes but think this one is a pile.
