Far from your average custom, this bike is creative and well fettled.

The craftsmanship is good.  Don't much care for the look.

That's a great find!  SU carbs never looked so nice!  I wonder how long one could ride on that very narrow seat...beautiful aesthetics overall!

I've seen that Guzzi before.  It's misfiring like crazy in the beginning of the video.  There's another video of it I saw a year or more ago with the same misfire on one cylinder.  Hopefully that's been fixed by now.

Nice looking show bike.  Runs but I would have a fail on his inspection slip and tell him that he needs to do more work to have it pass a roadworthy inspection.  :grin:

I'm guessing that the riding shots in this video are the extent of how long that seat is tolerable.

Perhaps referring to the choice of using drum brakes.....
