Got to agree Pappy.  Cool looking bike a Batman bagger.  Will be interesting to see the press write ups on this shortly and if they get to test ride it.  I wonder if Slipstreamer had input on the fairing.

If I were to consider a v-twin, that would be at or near the top of the list.   cooldude

Yeah, nice to see bikes with the engine as the focal point, a work of art, not just another twin. Those engines are beautiful.

Only problem would be their dealer network. I like Triumphs too, was considering a Rocket III when I bought my valk, the closest dealer is a couple hundred miles away, was a factor.  For you guys in the bigger cities, that wouldn't be as big of an issue.

Also, i wonder if you could add highway pegs to it. Looks like it might be difficult.

I agree with this also.  Reference highway pegs, the choice for me would be Mick O Pegs but, that's me.   The fairing is "interesting", I might learn to love it but, I've got reservations at this point.   I wonder if R&M could build a belly tank to fit in there somewhere.     I've never had a bike that held too much fuel.  Wink  Overall, a nice looking ride and it gets a  cooldude from me.  Motto Guzzi has never carried the most reliable reputation so dealer support would be very important to me but, I've never owned a Motto Guzzi so, I don't know that reputation is in fact accurate.  

Edited:  Definitely not a fan of the paint work though.   Carbon Fiber is a great material to work with but, it needs to some shine put on it.

Saw one of those on the floor at the dealership in Calgary when I was there two weeks ago. Awesome looking bike.
