The header pipes look pretty slick. Some reverse megaphone would look good angles towards the rear.

I don’t like it much but think it’s an improvement over the Roamer,The ugliest Guzzi since the Nevada. Flame on.

Agreed. The last pic with a rider aboard….tells the whole story to me. Took a perfectly good motorcycle and gave it an unnatural riding position. The rest? Meh. Been done already…and better…By Guzzi themselves.

I mean, if it was built to legitimately race, it’s got my vote on looks.

My wrists hurt just looking at it but it shows a high degree of craftsmanship.
