Proper motorbike. Needs some guards.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

If it had mudguards, road tyres and sat at a sensible height from the road it'd be a yes.

I like it - but yes - both of those.

IIRC the 750T came from the factory with stupidly long forks and always looked wrong, Making it into a street-tracker 'works', but it's a road bike, not a desert sled.

Although - having said that - it'd make a passable, if heavy off-road bike - probably better for trail riding than a GS.

It's based on a 'trailie' version.

He used a different donor for starters: a 1994 Moto Guzzi 750 XPA. If you don’t know it, it’s a modified version of Moto Guzzi’s NTX 750 adventure bike, used by the Italian police.

Agreed about the mudguards and tyres. Put a pair of panniers on and I assume that there is a brake light. Be interesting to see if that seat is as comfortable as claimed.

So yeah, gizza go mister.

I actually read the article - now I remember why the Foundry sounded familiar - they're just up the road from me near Tangmere. I really ought to go up and take a look around one day.

I like that …
But I am old

[Skub]

It's hard to make a Guzzi uncool.

As above,tyres and guards and I'll take it. Don't bother wrapping.

Do you remember the Moto Guzzi Quota?

Thankfully not,but I take your point.

[demographic]

Guards, airbox and stop dicking about with dumbass front tyres.
In fact, feck it. Naah, its still shite til its finished and that last 10 % is actualy about 70% of the finished item and these unfinished contraptions are too formulaic. Sort em first then the congratulations come after, til then its just a part done project

[Dickyboy]

As per demographic, most bikes look cool if you miss of the bare essentials in making them anywhere near usable, decent tyres, mudguards, lights etc & stop putting number plates off centre it looks shite

[Taipan]

There's a simplicity to it I like, but as others have said, it needs mudguards, even short ones.
