Can't provide any insight, but it looks like even a cosmetic replica will be an expensive business.





Swinging arm
Monoshock conversion
Handlebars
Controls
Forks
Brakes
Wheels
Carbon fibre(?) Seat unit and fairing
Exhaust

Or will it be not-a-Yamamoto-Racing seat, not-a-Yamamoto-Racing exhaust, handlebars, and a replica paint job?

Great looking bike either way.
