I liked it from the first picture and liked it even more when I saw the remaining pictures.  The White/Black is a bit jarring but in a good way.  And the tank trim is a nice surprise.  Given the choice between MG's V85 and LM's V85, LM's would be my choice.  Although a few items like mirrors and turn signals would be needed.  But I'm sure LM has some solutions there.  I admire his breaking out on his own.  Best wishes.

BikeExif is an interesting combination: does EXIF refer to what I think it does?

It looks like it would be fun but I'd wear a full face helmet with a tinted shield. I wouldn't want to be recognized on it as that thing is UGLY!

Knobbies look like the standard tyres.  But I agree with you, I removed mine due to poor adhesion on wet bitumen.

Looks like the same guy designed this that made a tv tray out of an upside down toilet lid still attached to the seat hung around his neck.
Nasty ugly IMO

It makes a fair parts bike. Drive line, USD fork. Keep a tarp over it so your friends don't dismiss your sorry a**.  R3~

Just took another look at MG's V85s at GPM this morning.  Kinda hard to pick out from all the KTMs, Ducatis, etc Universal Adventure Motorcycles.  I rode my V7 III but if I had ridden LM's V85 I would have people asking if I took it to Perris (a local flat track).

The Mg V85 line is a good one with a nice range from city roads to no roads.  Pack it up or leave it bare.  It works.  And if I only had one motorcycle and it had to be a V85 it would be MG's.  But if I could have two then LM's V85 would be in the top 10 (along with an RE C5, Jason, Triumph Thruxton R, better stop now :laugh:).

I've always admired creative people although not always their creations.  LM's V85 is one that I admire for show not go.  MG isn't allowed that with their V85.  But if they were it would be an Italian knockout.  I know.  I owned a Norge.

  People can do anything they want with their bikes. They can exercise any artistic expression, or lack thereof, as they choose. Doesn't mean that I have to like it. Or comment on it. But, dang, as fun as it may be to ride I hope no one sees me on it.
