Re: Stunning
That is just lovely. Looks great.
One minor bug bear of mine, those mudguards. They’re so short that beauty could only be ridden on pristine roads or else lose its looks to road detritus. Maybe it’s just for looking at.

Beauty as they say is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I would rather have a Vincent in my garage than a Ducati.

Re: Stunning
I'd take the Ducati and the Vincent: both are beautiful bikes in their own right and era.
Then again, I'd also like a Lambretta 150 LD and a BSA Bantam D1 and a CB750/4 K2 and a GPz900R and a...
