It's nice...

but the Monster seat cover is not quite the right shape.

Maybe it's just me. :-\

I think if anything they could have dremeled off the very bottom one or two inches, to make the bottom of the cowl parallel with the subframe.

Splitting hairs though, that bike is overall sexy.

I guess if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I could find a UK price list that lists them for the M796 at 981 GBP front and 1196 GBP for the rear. Works out to be about US$3200 at current rates :(

You are.

I love this little gem.  There is one sitting in a shop in Petaluma that I have wanted to get for quite some time.

Two things I don't do.  Keyboard bullies and hypocrites.
Feel free to PM me if needed, otherwise you will find me elsewhere.

Where you been?  [roll] Son imported #012 from a collection in Belgium last year, mechanically sorted it and sold it to his collector car partner in PA. Not much of a bike to ride but makes a good display. He's riding it into New Hope occasionallly. Otherwise, it lives in the kitchen.  ;D Peter's new toy

If that happened, we wouldn't have Vespas.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Well ... if d'Ascanio hadn't been 'allowed' to go and work with Piaggio, then Pallavicino & Torre (aeronautical engineers too) wouldn't have created the Lambretta for Innocenti as we know it and we may have only had the stamped-frame Vespa-like design.
