The bike runs great and feels like a new bike.

Yes is is great fun to ride this magni honda.
The handling is very good and the bike feels lighter as a original honda.
The sound is a bit loud but wonderfull together with the keihin CR carb set.
Our black cat likes the soft seat very much when the bike is at home.

Your cat has very good taste in napping spots.
Does he at least keep the shop clear of rodents? Small price to pay for using such a privileged seat.

Well done on the prize Wout.

The bike that came first must have been incredible as
the standard of your restoration work is awesome.

that is a lovely bike, its quite rare to see a "frame" special that looks better or atleast on par - than the original - whilst maintaining a similar profile, for sure plenty that change the basic theme - i.e. track / single seat etc.. - but keeping the UJM appeal is not easy
there are some pritty whacky examples out there where they get it wrong, the Magni is definatly not one of them Cool
