Seeing as the 502 was too heavy and

Remember the original Multistrada..? Great bike ruined by a face that even Stevie Wonder would hate.

Same problem.

Looked like Barry Manilow was trying to break out the front of a cheap chinky scooter and failing

I really hate all this pointy plastic styling rubbish, there is no reason for it apart from feeble minded people keep buying the things thinking they are keeping up with fashion when in reality they are on a par with manbun's, manbag's and saggy arsed trousers for those of us with any sense of self respect

The saddest thing is underneath all that crap hide some pretty decent bikes!

You forgot socks and sliders.

Showing my age I know but even now when I see or think Benelli I think of the 750 and 900 6's of the 70's.

I think they even predated the CBX1000 and the Z1300 (but happy to be corrected)

One of the few bikes I have never ridden.

Cyclops fugly mudder flicker
Angry looking mudder flicker probably already broken
Surprised at being given a funny shaped engine

I like the MV, looks a right grumpy fecker.
I wonder if MV's R&D have been trolling
on here?

Start at the mid 90's and work backwards from there mate
bmw gs the earlier the better
original xt600
XL600
DR600
TDM (stretching a point i know)
Transalp

proper trials or at least light enough for us old feckers to pick up (bmw dont count as the motor stops if going all the way down)

You get the idea (y)
