It isn't motorcycling. It's a movement where one copies another's fashion sculpture and they get to compare the minute differences. It's like kids drawing their dream car in the back of their exercise book then playing top trumps in the play ground. It's always been there, they've just moved on from peanut tanks, ape hangers and Muriels copied off 1970's Rock album covers.

Riders buy a bike that fits like a good pair of boots, not the high heals some journalist tells them are "in".

If I had £40K to spend it wouldn’t be on a bike.I could think of a few nice cars that would fit me better or do a whole season following the MotoGP circuit.????✈️????

  Not impressed, it's just not a real bike, if you want a fast naked I can think of a few that fit the bill nicely, this thing is for the lumbersexuals who want to blip up the chemists for some hair gel, then to the Brighton cafe for some fundament frollics.....

It's a touch pricey for what you get...

Agreed. S&S lumps are dear, but not that dear. I like the x wedge but it's in the wrong bike here.

Ian, Google will give you a good idea of a lumbersexual, basically a but like a lumberjack with pink knickers and pretty little hands.

          Aah,looked it up,I get it now.That’s as far away from me as you could ever get.
         I am just glad I am in my seventies and don’t have to”keep up” with “modern trends”.A couple of days of beard growth and the itching drives me mad.I even have my hair cut short(No.8) and it saves me money not going to the barbers for a “styling”that looks like they have been dragged through a hedge backwards then gelled.I mean gell ???,
why would you if your hair is short.

I think Mike Russell de Clifford the owner of Moto Corsa is a motorbike fanatic. He is selling the new Brough
and has a penchant for Italian bikes too. This new bike is not to my taste but I take my hat off to him for having a go. It would be a boring world if there weren't folk like him coming up with new variations from time to time.
