There's not a lot of clearance on that back wheel. Wouldn't want to ride anywhere bumpy.

Proper bars, no bar end mirrors. :thumbup:

Brown seat, big hole under it, no instrumentation (well, a speedo that you'd need a magnifying glass to read), side stand too short. :hmmm:

The jury is out on this one. Not really my cuppa T.

Certain Guzzis like the Le Mans always look a bit like that to me. I think it's because they tend to be low (so look long) - the cylinder arrangement gives scope for it. Perfect for the short of leg, but taller riders look a bit odd on them.

I looked carefully and not one thing that I particularly like.
