Apologies if it's been done,but it was new to me.

Not being a fan of the leccy market bikes,it actually looks not bad. A decent styling effort. Anyone fancy some Indian powered velocipedes?

It reminds me a teeny-tiny bit of the Philippe Starck designed Aprilia Moto 6.5.

I like it.

I hate the old fashioned saddle. Needs a subfrsme and proper seat. The scrambler looks better because of the mudguard extension behind the saddle.

I'd rather have one of the original ww2 paratrooper ones

That was a truly fun bike to ride, more fun than the same age Pegaso

The Mignet version is my preferred choice.

They've got one of those in the reception area with its para-drop metal 'crate' fitted to it. Quite an interesting looking thing.

It looks horribly impractical. No pillion space. No luggage space.
