Bravo Ranger, BRAVO. I didn't even notice the engine chop. I was looking for a picture just like the one in this month's MotorCyclist.

Refer back to the first post..... I fixed the first picture, as well as added a rear end shot.

EDIT - Looks like 346 pounds. Not sure if its wet or dry.

If it was water cooled I'd really take a look at it. It gets hot down here and me not knowing what temp the engine is just freaks me out and just thinking about the oil getting hotter than hell makes me cry. I'm sure you could install an oil temp gauge.

No Chinese bikes for me thank you.

For a sub 400cc bike, I would look for an old RDLC/RZ350 instead.

Aside from the fact that Guzzi's are 90 degree, horizontally opposed V-Twins with a shaft drive, and this is an inline 3 cyl. with a chain, yeah, it looks just like a Moto Guzzi.

The original picture had a Guzzi engine photoshopped into the frame.
