I like it a lot. If I owned it I’d put a boring long black seat on it and at least zip tie some of the brake and throttle cables.

I am wondering about the seat, will it be comfortable to sit on something like that? It’s the first seat design I’ve seen that looks like that. It is pretty to look at and all I can say is that it is something out of the ordinary.

the guzzi is a v2, the bmw not. the bmw has a boxer engine, each con rod has is own crankshaft pin whereas on a v-engine(like the guzzi) 2 con rods share 1 pin. fundamentally different.

“Even with custom bikes, spoiling the usability and driving creates a bad bike.”

Love the sentiment.

That is what hits me – disproportional front to endpart, you can see it on the 1st and last picture, when the pic is slightly taken in an angle. This engine might be too massive for such minimalistic rear end of bike, and the fact ritmo sereno used this leather tongue as a seat underlines the misproportion in a bad way. I’m glad to see that not every bike they make is a well balanced piece of art, that facts make them even more human to me – keeping on towards zen.

Rims are what you change if you want to keep the original hubs….
