Looks like it's trying too hard IMHO.

This forum and the bike exif threads have been an interesting insight into peoples minds on here. I'm always curious as to how certain bikes i pick will go down. This one was no exception to my curiosity.

For the intended style of bike, I would have no problem with it being in my garage and to use when the desire to putter around the lanes on a sunny day calls me.

It's a 350 bullet with nicer paint and a few bolt on bits, there no custom made bits or fancy engineering. It just not that special.

I think we're all similar folk who like similar things, with the odd exception.

I think a lot of these magazine cover bikes are more art projects than motorbike though, they don't seem like they were drawn up by blokes (or ladies) that are into bikes, they seem like they're done by people into fashion.

A large chunk of them yeah. That's why I mostly try to stay away from the fuck stupid scrambler things where the fuck up nice bikes by adding stupid tyres.

I don't mind it to look at,but I don't want to buy it.

If I wanted a little puddlejumper like that I'd buy an old Honda 200 Benly and hammer it right. Be more useable too.

I like the Bike Exif threads even though I don't actually like many of the bikes if you see what I mean.
Maybe 20% of them look like someone has considered riding them and they often miss out parts that I consider essential.
They are a bit like a high fashion catwalk.
Nobody wears that shit but it provides inspiration for the main companies.

This particular bike? Not for me but Ive seen worse.

Black seat and get rid of the man purse would make it more acceptable to look at, still wouldn't buy it not even with a, "you can have 10 bikes in your garage".

It’s a Madras 350, one of the worst bikes ever made, with a coat of cream paint.

Hurrah!
