Hmm. Looks very dated and everything below the tank looks like a rat's nest.

I'll pass on that one.

No, it's a mess. What the hell were they thinking of with those indicators?

The seat looks like some sort of orthopedic item.

I kind of like the idea and general styling behind this one, from afar.

Up close there's a few bits that could be neater

There's an exceptionally well done yellow MG scambler I posted a few years back, I can't find the pics, but it was a million times better than that.

I'd love one of those Police bikes as a commuter, it would make me laugh.

No, it was a proper job that looked like a proper off road bike, was based on a V50 iirc.

I'd take the Police bikes every day of the week in preference to that mess. The seat and bash plate (or is it a commode?) are just objects of ridicule.

I like the Guzzi engine and the idea and the shaft drive. But aspects of that are pretty poor including the angle of the front mudguard and the £15-alike Busters Accessories catalogue front headlight cowl.

It does look good, and the finish on it puts some manufacturers to shame.

They've fitted the wrong seat by mistake.
