In whose eyes?

For an old git like me it reminds me of what proper motorbikes used to look like. So if you're anywhere much beyond 40 or so it'll probably hit the old nostalgia nerve dead on, and I think it's gorgeous.

Of course it won't appeal to the hardcore sportsbike fans, but it's not that type of bike. It's just the thing for style concious 40 somethings (which is generally where all the money is) to look cool on, with an open face Momo lid, ride it in jacket and jeans for you and the missus to pootle down to the pub of a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Just powerful enough and good handling enough to get the juices flowing without being mental. If I had the money for that sort of bike, I'd have one like a shot....well...that or a Moto Guzzi Griso 1100 (for the same type of bike).

A bike to pootle around on when you still can't bring yourself to get a cruiser
