Yukkk.

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!

[DesertPilot]

Interesting.  I will not sleep well tonight...

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

Yep..
Standard is best, Guzzi knew what they were doing.

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).

[Tkelly]

How about the T3 custom?

[Bert Remington]

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 ).

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.
