Yup. Anything that doesn't have that exhaust. Much as I like Guzzis, that one looks partially digested.

I like the front of it, the back, I agree with. There is one for sale here, the 1200 SE, for £4995 with nothing on the clock!

Here's hoping it doesn't get bought and I am capable of riding it by the spring...

Some of the guzzi's are moderately pretty.
But that's about as far as it goes from what I can see.

Sure they offer a much better alternative to a cruiser for those focused on style, but otherwise seem to have little real useful purpose.

Cooler, by far ^^^^

Both of those bikes are pretty uncool to my mind.

Can't remember the name of the company, but there's a small team of guys in Italy that do custom Ducatis, they were features in PB a few months back. Had pictures of the company's owner riding the bike in ripped jeans and brogues. Nothing cooler than that, if anyone knows the name of the company link to it and you'll see what I mean.

That Ducati is not cool - it is as ugly as a hatful of arseholes....

The Guzzi on the other hand does have a certain brutal charm - akin to a middle aged Oliver Reed on the lash.

Sat on the guzzi up in the NEC, was really comfortable and i fell in love instantly. If i had the money, i'd own one! Cool

This is way cooler than either of the bikes posted in here. Although there are other bikes that I think are "cooler" but this is only chosen due to it being relevant because it's italian.

Most Guzzis just look very agricultural to me, apart from a few models produced by the (rather crappily named) Ghezzi-Brian.

Sport Monza 1000:

Folgore:

(Although I think the Folgore is trying just a little too hard to be a Ducati 916/900SS hybrid).)

For me motorcycle coolness doesn't get any more chilled than this -

I still like the MGS-01 :-

The V12 concept is going a bit too far but most concepts do I guess.

The beauty of the Guzzis is in the egine config and they're great to ride.

First you need to define a cool bike and then it may or may not be as cool or cooler than that.

Glad I put that straight. Thumbs Up
