I am friends with a few hipsters , doesn't look like anything they would be interested in . They are more into old beemers , Guzzis , and Brit bikes .

Pretty cool, I work with a guy in the late 70's who rode a cafe Goldwing, so big bike cafe's are nothing new.

Would somebody please tell me this is a photoshop? I cannot imagine anybody putting a dustbin on a 1400.

It's a bad dream.....go back to your nap.

charlie b · « **Reply #13 on:** July 23, 2016, 01:11:05 PM »

Given how far back the pegs are the dustbin needs to be seriously longer and a bit higher in front. Yeah, a LONG wheelbase. Still a nice combination. At least it's not a cruiser.

I noticed ithas what seems to be a Vanguard clothing logo on the side of the dustbin....Could that be a new advertising vehicle for the clothing line? Their videos with the "Uber Eldo" were so cool!

Yes, the 1st pic I saw of the bike was actually a trendy men's clothing ad With a dapper dude in skinny jeans and a PERFECT beard. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

I dumped this photo into Google image search engine and it did not find it or anything close. I say photoshop.
I found this photo hipster and all at this website as an ad for Vanguard V8 jeans.

I doubt a 'hipster' would have a clue what a dustbin fairing had in relation to Moto Guzzi.

bigbikerrick · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2016, 03:36:04 PM »

Hey RedRider, cool links you found there! I really liked the videos of the "V8 Build" , the builders business name is hilarious too....Numbnut motorcycles! I showed it to my 32 year old son, and he wants a pair of those V8 Jeans. I guess their marketing "works"with that target demographic!

Translation of Dutch to English from Episode I, II all the same ad.
After the very successful V7 and V9 Rider Jeans Jeans Cruiser Vanguard presents this autumn the long-awaited V8 Racer Jeans. The jeans is a confirmation of the rich custom motorcycle heritage of the brand and makes both in name and in implementing a deep bow to the legendary Moto Guzzi V8, the machine that the Italian engine builder in the 50s of the last century global motorcycling left shaking on its foundations. As part of the launch of the V8 Racer Jeans Vanguard has entered into a unique partnership with the Amsterdam custom bike builders Numbnut Motorcycles . They build by hand a one-of - 2016 version of the legendary Moto Guzzi .

Translation of ad for Episode III
The V8 Racer jeans and Moto Guzzi V8 Vanguard are inspired by the legendary Moto Guzzi V8 from the 50 large 8-cylinder 500cc This threw all the conventions of that time on board . Until today, the legend lives around the machine on. This leads to a source of inspiration , which has been a great development . Vanguard wrote a new chapter in the big book of the Moto Guzzi V8 by entering into a collaboration with the Amsterdam custom motorcycle builders Numbnut Motorcycles : the development of custom Moto Guzzi V8 Vanguard and Vanguard V8 Racer Jeans. In cooperation with the Swiss Design Gannet Numbnut designed a unique contemporary version of the classic Moto Guzzi V8. In the design of both the engine and the jeans are 8 processed the same unique features . Detailing and workmanship are sublime, everything is made with craftsmanship and unique.

Gotta wonder if it is stable at speed. Did he do a wind tunnel test after the build was finished.

Bolt on a Judson supercharger and I'm off to the Bada$$ Rodeo!

Aside from being butt-ugly, things that are wrong with this bike:

Clip-ons on a bike with an apparent 14 foot wheelbase - needs power steering.

Rearsets attached to to the swing arm. Seriously?
Exhaust outlet immediately in front of aforementioned rearsets.

No padding on the tank, 'cos yer knackers are gonna be hard-up against it.
