high quality brown leather has a classiness all it's own but the bags are a bit much. i'd stick with my standard small day pack for hauling a few grocery items. i like the rear end/frame tubes... a pleasant departure from the "standard custom" loop on the rear end. they give that small/clean tail light a frame or definition.
sweet bike IMO. i'm more of a flat tracker/street tracker fan but these bikes have an artistic flair that is pretty durned cool. so many directions one can take a modern bonnie. good stuff.
i've stalled long enough, gotta man up, head for the garage and spoon a new rear skin on the Scrambler...... have a great weekend boyz. for those of you that can ride right now....rev 'er out to the limiter once for me would ya.

I've saw the bike when it was first revealed a couple months back, but I took a look at it again when I stopped by to grab a coffee on my morning commute.
It really is a well put together bike. The bags need to go for sure, but it's just a clean awesome bike. The seat is beautiful. People on that blog entry talking crap are just too into themselves. Take for what it's worth. A great looking semi customized bonnie.

I think the seat is gorgeous, and well being a scooter owner I get wanting to have *some* kind of storage. I dig the overall bike myself but clearly everyone has their own thing.

Realistically, what can you put in those bags that you can't already fit in your pockets? That ain't "storage".

Brown leather seats look sensational with white tanks. The oil cooler downtubes nicely cleans up the front end (I have the same). Not a fan of the coin purses for panniers. I am in the pro fender camp
Nice scooter there 60wasp.

The bags are ok if: The owner/rider is hauling his testicles.. if not .. bag em Dano.
I like brown, not that brown. I like white, not that white. It's stark but not classy stark.
The gauges are too small and too tall.
The fenders are wimpy. I seee full fenders, that would be a nice touch for a vintage
brown bag look.
I really don't see any "design" effort. It's ok .. just ok.
I would not own it. It's affected, not effective.

Much nicer in this iteration than the original in my humble opinion. The brown leather seat is very classy but the tiny murses definately needed to go. They would have looked great if they were two or three times bigger. But as they were they just looked gay - not that there's anything wrong with that -lifestyle is a personal choice.
The bars are much better on this one too. Not a big fan or wrapped pipes myself but some people love it, so who's to say what looks good or bad? It is all subjective and individual. Overall it is a great looking bike I'd say and not something you'd see everyday. Enjoy!
