They really can do “style” when they try.

I'm with you Huzo . I think it has a nice flow to it's lines. Stand by though, it's apt to take an ass-whoopin' here.

Yes.
I am past it now, but I do think it is a viable alternative once you accept that a road version of the MGS is not achievable to the average man.
But I still contend that a donor 8V Norge could be modified in the direction of the MGS...$$$
There would be a major percentage left over in the corner to gather dust, but the frame, electronics and drive unit would substantially stay.
Oh and also...?
The I.D. plate..(Honestly officer, it’s just a Norge with a fancy fairing... :wink:)

Should be fun... :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
I wonder how the road version would be with the V100 power train ?
Do you think anyone would want one...? :rolleyes:

Not really int that style, but it does look good.  That seat will cause the old prostate to scream for mercy.

Fun for sure. A wide flat seat itself isn't bad. My Spot 1100 seat isn't bad as long as your not stuck in traffic.
There should be more padding on that seat though. JMO

Yeah look you’re right.
The damn thing needs to be rideable or there’s bugger all point having it. But I don’t think injecting some civility into it, need necessarily detract too much from it’s raw appeal.

After an hour's ride, you'll be asking "Where did the seat go?"
answer...Uranus  :laugh:

I like many of their designs...but a friend was working on an older  Furia a while back and said the finish and appointments were really bodged...surprised me but he also works on a lot of jap stuff too so his expectations were maybe a bit high for Italian small handbuilt runs.

I see you have a 95 Spot like I do. Seat isn't bad at higher speeds is it. Wide and flat is ok as long as it's padded, and you're not stuck in stop and go.
I have heli clip-ons too, that helps

Yeah Canuck.
All the visible and invisible styling cues are great. Things like how the line of the front fairing matches the headers. The seat base is beautiful.
Single spot front light...? Hmmmm...Dunno.

My only complaint is the footrests feel a bit too far forward. I would prefer an inch or two further back to go with the stock bars. Mine is silver and named Sylvia.

You can flip the clip-ons left to right. helps a bit. Don't think heli clip-ons are still around.
