Look at the fork caps, notice the rubber blatters. No more air.

IIRC, they're just caps over Schrader valves underneath.

The 507s are a bit tall for a shorty like me, but could possibly be lowered. I'd prefer a first series Camel instead though.

I really like that.  I wonder how it compares to a cagiva elephant 650.

Cool bike, and I like the relatively low weight.

Of course...if you REALLY wanted to be rare and different...you could have bought this...but it appears no one wanted it...

i can tell you, i have both ( and a couple of off road guzzi''s)
the elefant is a completely different animal , weighs about 30 kilo more , has a more sophisticated chassis, better front forks , pro link rear end , stock ohlins shock.
it is also bigger in any direction. a ADV bike before the category was invented

the morini feels like a 30 HP mountainbike in comparison.
it is light , fun off road or in town, but underpowered for highway use.
