Bad bits, forks, over long rear shocks
It would look better with spoked wheels

If a punter can get it though an SVA (or whatever they call it these days), makes you wonder why MG never made a road going version?
Look like MV mirrors with the indicators built in, a side stand (from another Guzzi with a similar engine), a crappy tail tidy and some head lamps behind the front mesh.

That's going to wheelie for fun. The engine is so far back the crank is at the centre of wheelbase and quite high up.

I do like black/yellow colour schemes though and that looks vv nice.

I think Ducati are missing a trick not offering a factory yellow one.

Yellow has always been the best colour for all the good Italian vehicles, I've never been the biggest fan of the Red.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Been wondering about this. As in, what on earth??! Is it actually supposed to be a rideable bike? How's that clutch lever work? Is there actually a front brake lever? etc etc
Oh...and hasn't she got long legs?
(The bike's still on that stand, I know Guzzi's are small but... )

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Could be as on many vintage bikes, where the lever pivots at the bar end and the cable runs through the bars.
From an engineering pov, your strongest fingers are at the end of the lever where they can have most effect.

The odd bike was only a shallow ruse to feature the legs.
