That's pretty "slick & radical!!" :boozing: :cool: :bow: :thumb: :smiley: By the way:
Hadria, an alternative spelling for the Etruscan city that is now Adria in the Veneto region of Northern Italy.

I'd like to own a legit Bellagio, so this 5th trimester abortion makes me sad.
So brilliantly redesigned that on flat ground it only needs one 2x4 under the kickstand. I suspect that the bike was in a crash. They couldn't pound the tank out any better than that, and the missing parts of the fenders were crushed beyond repair. So they decided to frankenbike it and call the unproportioned collection of stray bits "art."
Completely awful.
I thought the 2x4 was a nice touch too. :rolleyes: It says they put on a taller rear shock to improve the looks, but they couldn't modify the sidestand to work? Now THAT'S ART!

That looks really nice! Bet that might sell well if the bean counters left it alone :thumb:

I think the design looks like it's going in too many different directions. The bash plate seems out of place on a bike that will probably only see pavement.
Re the 2 x 4, it might just be for a better angle for photos; I know my guzzis stock, lean wwaaayyy too far over on the side stand, I usually have blocks of wood at hand, fwiw.
I agree that it would've been a shame to do that custom work on a good condition stock bike, but I think most of those customs start out with wrecks. Makes economic and practical sense, cheaper, and if it has to be fixed anyways, might as well do something different.
The exhaust seemed to be the biggest change and yet they didn't show any details of it, the hidden crossover collector must be made of spaghetti to end up in that muffler where it is.
If that tank holds as much gas as it appears to, my bladder would definitely be the limiting range factor,lol.
