Musky - wasn't referring to the appropriateness of referring to the bike in question - after all, my vee twins have been mentioned - but rather the fact the bike ain't what it's referred to as.
I genuinely hope Neil likes it, but have this nagging doubt - this is a modern single and, as such, is highly unlikely to be the gentle plodder A7's can be. A single - especially modern - is a different experience compared with older bikes. Even the original - real - Gold Star was a bitch to ride in its later format.
