I saw it described as "Is this the most beautiful motorcycle" [1] in
some clickbait article [2].

Are we now so bereft of ideas the only way we judge or create beauty is
by aping what has gone before?

I know this is not a new concept, just look at St Paul's cathedral or
any Victorian building - very little original going on there in terms
of looks. [4]

What was the last, original and beautiful motorcycle?

Not the best technically but most beautiful that, importantly, didn't
reference a previous age?

Ducati 916, Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, Ducati 750 Sport perhaps? A bit of an
Italian theme developing [5].

[1] QTWTAIN
[2] Which I didn't read [3]
[3] I assumed it would have too many adverts, not actually say anything
and/or slightly annoy me.
[4] Don't get me started on the Midland Hotel (St Pancras) or the old
Euston. They didn't function as a hotel or a railway station and
are/were fucking ugly.
[5] We all know the real answer - it's not Italian but *is* European.

Yes, always been the way. Rose tinted specs etc etc

But I like St Pancras. Looks really nice.

Ducati 916. Which is why I want one next. Or a 996 or 998, I don't care.

The Italians do have a certain je ne sais quoi, don't they.

Me too. Unclear if they're going to be selling them in my locale. Hope so.. I'd get one. If not, maybe an Enfield.

£6.5k with chrome tank in green. The extra 500 nicker gets the chrome
mudguards, mirrors, and levers, plus polished engine covers. For the
more thrifty, a mere 300 squid gives a choice of red, black, and silver
(base model is green).

I notice that they've switched the side for the chain, like Triumph did
with the Bonneville. And I hope the wheel spindle is extracted and
torqued up from the left hand side.
