Nice!
If that comes with a 30l tank, I’m fitting one to my Innova….

Scary price, mind, but a great-looking bike.

BTW, a little bird tells me that after some supply-chain problems with the current Chinese engines in the Cabellero, and its takeover of the Minarelli engine factory (formerly owned by Yamaha Motor Europe) in Italy, Fantic will offer a Yam XT660 engine in the Cabellero next year. I suspect that would make it heavier, but would it be any better? The current engine is actually a product of the famed British Ricardo engineering consultancy, and is pretty good by all accounts.
I had a look at the Rally version of the Cabellero yesterday. It's a horrible 'desert storm' colour, but that could be cured with a tank cowl off one of the red, blue or yellow models.
It has a longer swinging arm than the other Cabelleros (in ally rather than steel) and better forks. It has a slightly nose-down stance, and it looks like you could get a narrower 21 in front wheel in there to make it into a proper, and very stylish, classic-looking trail bike.

Well, blow me down...look what Google found for me!
