Great in crosswinds? 

Parallel parking in a crosswind.          Hey, why is it called parallel parking, the vehicles are linearally parked.

Hey smarty-pants, why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

The pipes are funny to me, remind my of something off a tractor or road repair machinery.

I think it looks great! This is the first cafe attempt on the new Cali I've seen and I think it's done really well proportionally and pulled off a couple of neat style tricks like the exhaust and the wheels, which aren't to everyone's taste of course, but work aesthetically for me.

Also, you know how after s certain speed you can't hear the exhaust over the wind noise? Here's that problem solved for you. I'd love to ride it.

Hey smarty-pants, why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

Park has more than one meaning...  But you knew that...

Parkway:  "The term is particularly used for a roadway in a park or connecting to a park from which trucks and other heavy vehicles are excluded."  (think Natchez Trace Parkway).

Driveway: "A private pathway, that can be driven, connecting private property to a public road".   

And both terms predate autos by decades.

Intelligence as in gathered information, not the smarts of the military.

 It was merely a play on words

The wheels don't do it for me and the exhaust.  Just the overall visual but blowing up the drivetrain potential is also another negative.

^^^Well, dog my cats! I never thought I'd see the day when Guzzi made too much power.^^^

Would that thing really crunch the drive? Bummer.
