Funny you say that Blue, that's exactly what the Moto Guzzi v twin started out as ,an industrial engine used in small tractors and gun carriers.

I lurrrve those Sport Guzzi's.
Good fun to ride without having to reach life threatening warp speeds.
I had a Ducati 1000SS which was a very similar character.

And this comes from a man whose car was designed by a man who only possessed a Ruler and a (blunt) pencil. You have no Soul.
It is a very rudimentary design that has evolved over the years and has its own unique Charm - Octane gets it
(I had a 900ss Duc in the past).....
Each to their own.........it is certainly not the hyperspace buggy that Ade has, but then I would definitely kill myself on that...........
