Mmm. Very strange, same styling cues as an Arial Leader. Not my cup of tea, but maybe has some weird urban chic  :-\

Apply brine and watch it deliquesce!  :(

Definitely not my preferred bit of design. I suppose you could describe it as a foretaste of a Honda Deuville and the finish is less likely to 'wash off' the Honda.

Toodle pip, Bill

Nissan Figaro for 2-wheelers. Looks nice.

There, I said it.

This is no designed, but has evolved and I prefer this to t'other.  :D

Over a 100 miles today on the highways and bi-ways of Perthshire and Angus. It's not mine and it sounded melodic.

Feel the sun!  ;D

My regards, Bill

Or the 'bark' and 'burble'.  ;D

Apparently, due to inactivity, a sticking clutch was cured by insert a large screwdriver between the plates and levering!  ;)  Not a dodge recomended for either the MZ 'yingding', still a good bike,  :)  or the corpulent Suzuki.  ???

I'm still not quick enough off the mark, with the video facility in the wee camera, but I shall try if something else hoves into view.

Happy thumping, Bill
