The more I see these bikes the more I want an unreliable old Guzzi to go with my unreliable old Triumph.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Those open bellmouths scare me though. Their suction could pull birds, mice, cats, even small children down their throats quite easily.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Nice bike, although I'd rather see the screen a bit higher as well as the headlights.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 10:48 am Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Those open bellmouths scare me though. Their suction could pull birds, mice, cats, even small children down their throats quite easily.
Not sure about the bellmouths especially since there's clearly acres of room for a gigantic air box. Which could, of course, be tuned to give a really nice induction noise.
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

25 years ago I'd have loved that. Now it just looks a bit unnecessarily cramped and old-fashioned.
It probably deserves a closer look. Looking at the blurb, those wheels aren't just OE - from a distance they look like they're off an 80s Kawasaki.

It's obviously lovingly crafted and I love it to look at,but I don't think I'd want to ride it much.

NIce, the nicest Guzzi cafe racers are the most minimalist, this one is a bit busy but still very lovely.
A Guzzi is still on my list.

Yup - agree - I really dislike a lot of bikes with little fairings like this that just look like the 'designer' completely forgot that there's going to be a rider on the thing at some point.
I don't mind them tbh.

That one doesn't do it for me at all

It looks lovingly crafted & considering it was built from 4 box's of parts it's a excellent job, but it needs wire wheels,different shocks,a different fairing & seperate speedo & tacho.

Nice - apart from that bloody big void under the seat!
