agreed.
a red frame, or brushed/silver keg-heads would break up that black a bit..

I think the foot controls, peg mounts, headlight ring, levers, and head fins need to be black.

I have had 2 guzzis and I love the brand but this one is too close to a Bonnie knock-off for my liking.

All black is getting a bit long in the tooth, a touch of Chrome is helpful. Am I the only one who thinks the Indian Dark Horse is just too Black? The Guzzi looks good to me. We are truly in a Golden Age for motorcycles, the variety and quality of bikes has never been better.

I like the spoke mag wheels, but did they really have to put a decal on it to identify it as a Bobber? I have a genuine G.I. Joe doll with the Kung Fu Grip if anybody is interested. Says so right on the box.

I once bought a Chevy pick up truck that said Sport on the side, I took the sticker off right away. Same deal as the Guzzi, just trying to hard.

I am over the "Bad-ass Black " Money in the pocket of makers though.Easier to black stuff out than chrome or paint it I guess.

I have never been a fan of the blacked out look but I do like black and chrome.

I don't mind the black, but am wondering what is going on with the front fender - the orange and black checkerboard thing. I could live with it, but would prefer all black there if we are doing a blacked out bike. Is the fender treatment distinctive to MG?

Those stickers are readily removable as long as it hasn't been clear coated over.
