Looks absolutely stunning - a nice blend of modern and classic.

Doesn't it, just. Gorgeous. Notice how high the engine is hiked? No
rocker cover/track interface with this one...

What workmanship. They should take it to Chimay.

Nice. The "translation" or more accurately transliteration of some of
the Japan-ised names is fascinatimg. So far I've found:

Orleans=Ohlins
Burenbo=Brembo
masuta=master
burenboriamaster=brembo rear master
Riaburekimasuta=rear brake master
sairensa=silencer
orutaneta=alternator
Endyurarasutoorutaneta=Endurance race alternator
Orijinarusurasshuforumutanku=Original slash-form tank

Loads of others, I'm sure.

That's easily my favourite, especially read out loud :-)

That's one of those 'I can appreciate the workmanship but I don't like
the results' bikes for me. The tank's completely wrong for a 'cafe
racer' (although that appears to be your tag, not theirs), & the seat
unit's hideous.

Very nice .. but I prefer this one ...

Closer to original but looks much more 'do-able' at home ...

I don't really know what to call it - 'cafe racer' seemed most
appropriate.
