I like that, it’s a ‘proper’ bike with some nice touches.

I would ride that if I was many years younger and could actually manage to reach the bars without my belly hitting the tank :cry:

Better than the raft of R series customs, it's tits aren't as droopy for a start.

It's still one of the prettiest engines, and sticking my neck out, it's quite difficult to ruin a Guzzi cafe racer because of it.

Pleasing exhausts too.

Sweet. Wouldn't want to ride it though. I've ridden bikes where you need to do a steady 70+ to get the air pressure to lift the load off your wrists before.

that's nice...
I would still have to chop 4 inches of my proportionally short legs to ride a Guzzi ...

Not exactly earth shattering with any original features is it? And that's coming from a lover of guzzis + no number plate and unfiltered intakes, so it can do one 😀

That is rather tasty.


I'm not convinced that the grey paint on the frame rail works though, might look better in sunlight.

Also - the routing of the throttle cables strikes me as a tad odd.
