A nice, if brief, write-up - but where are the rest of the photos like the one you posted?

Strangly, some fashion pictures remind of motorcycle brands or particular models. That one reminded me of the Racer: chrome and bling on a slim chassis ... kinda sleezy. Not the type to bring home to mother!

A few other "fashion" pics that remind me of other brands...

Honda: UJM

Kawasaki: Edgy.

BMW: Clearly Superior!

I wouldn't call that a review.  They never got around to saying anything about the bike, except for the cost and the fuel tank capacity.

It was a positive article. Lots of nice feelings in it. (thats good for business!) A good explanation of how a bike can have "character". Imperfect, awesome and viva la difference!

I especially like the caption under the citations picture of the test bike:

"Tom Rayner is in seventh heaven with Guzzi's gaudy Cafe Racer"

V7 = Seventh Heaven!

I can dig that!  :cool: Thumbs uppa.
