Moto Guzzi V8 Racer Vanguard

[RhynoCZ]

Made by Numbnut Motorcycles, Netherlands. The desing is based on the 50's Moto Guzzi V8 race motorcycle. The doner motorcycle for this project was a Moto Guzzi California Eldorado (a cruiser).

Cool to look at, dangerous and crap to ride it (at least that's my impression of this project). The Firestone tyres sure do not help with the handling. As we all know, FIM banned this kind of fairings and they did so for a very simple reason, the cross winds. Still, cool to look at.

I think it's a piece of beauty.

A decidedly ugly beauty, granted. But it works for me. It reminds me of the 60's and 70's when small "garden shed" manufacturers churned out completely insane designs just for fun.

Beats the hell out of the new insect looking nakeds flooding the market.

Surely this is Hipster overload...

I really hate that in the fourth image the headlamp isn't central in the fairing window.

[carpe_diem]

Ideally, yes. Let's be honest, with that fairing it's never going to be practical anyway, so they might as well detach the lamp from the forks and have it always facing forwards.

I'm more irritated by the fish bowl on the riders head than the headlamp.
