This one may not fit perfectly with the rest but it is definitely a cool italian bike.

Every bike I've ever owned.

i like that exhaust..  must look funky from the bottom since it wraps around the oil filter and avoids blocking the drain.  very nice.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

i'd like to see a few more angles as well. Nice rear brake lever - I like the cut out look a lot.

the joints could be cleaner, but maybe that's a preproduction setup.  they aren't offering them for sale.

Could use a little polishing, but I like it.

Holy similar bikes, Batman

Interesting that the gauges mounting is different, tank shape is slightly different, and seats are different, but otherwise, look very much identical.

That's what I figured, but having to only see the single in the foreground, with identical paint and minor other variations, I had to wonder what was going on.

Was the single available in that color scheme from the factory?

Very cool exhaust on that red Sport Classic.  It reminds me a little of the Road Racing exhausts for Monsters that were out several years back.  The exhaust exited on the other side though. 

The Red Sport Classic looks like it has a wet clutch.  I never knew they came with wet clutches.

paul smarts are dry i believe. the rest are wet at the dealership right now, iirc.

Look closely at the red bike. Somebody explain to me how gears are shifted. [cheeky]
