The only thing I don’t get is why they didn’t do this to a V1200?

I am sure that picture came through a few days ago, did they take the styling from that pretty cool CX500?

Ben Part’s Zagato Guzzi- inspired. Suspiciously.

That looks really nice – a ‘proper’, modern cafe racer. All the styling cues rolled into one.

As much as the rest of the bike looks awesome, I can’t get past that goofy cartoon pirate hat of a windshield.

I’ll certainly be looking at the accessories for stuff to add to my bike, if they ever make their way down to Australia at a reasonable price.

Re the performance gripes, as John says, it matches the cafe racers of yore. And I’ve found 48 bhp in a light, flickable bike to be plenty enough for 90% of my riding. As they say, the best way to increase performance is to ‘add lightness’.

And unlike the ‘new’ MV Agusta F4, the Clubman Racer is not heavier and less powerful than the model it replaces.
