Paton motorbikes - anyone ridden one?

[Esceptico]

Anyone with any experience at all?

I am tempted to treat myself as it is just the sort of bike I like - small and very light with just enough power for the road.

Yes stupidly expensive and much faster bikes are available for much less but all things are relative (on another article I note that it costs £10k to upgrade to carbon brakes on a new RS6 so £25k for a handmade bike that wins at the TT doesn’t sound so stupid by comparison).

Main problem is that being in NZ I doubt there are any dealers and no chance of a test ride beforehand!

I've seen these at Krazy Horse at Bury St Edmunds, and want to like them but can't get over the styling. I know pretty much nothing about them though so would be good to hear others experiences
