Saw this at a shop in Guelph the other day.I had seen pics (oh,another retro bike..meh) before but never seen one in the flesh.The detailing and build quality are awesome.It lacks in power,handling and ground clearance.But that's not it's intent.This thing would make an awesome sunday morning ride($11,060).Stunning!

Are you talking about the bike or the girl in the picture when you says 'stunning'??
 
That thing would be slick with a set of upside down Ohlins....mmmmm

That's the first i noticed about it.The front end is very spindly.But then...it is retro,and with only about 45bhp.What's the point?
 
To look cool!! Thats the only need for Ohlins anyway ;)
 
Have you seen the one that is all chromed out (I can't recall if it's unavailable for sale in Canada due to laws or they have no intention of sending us any)? Love. It.
 
Personally, I would much rather the Griso 8v SE. Absolutely gorgeous bike, more expensive though

Pretty sure I remember seeing one at Corsa Meccanica, might have been sold already though

Hmmm, my brother-in-law wanted to order one, and we did go to Corsa to see them - we were told the chrome'd ones were not going to be sold in Canada.

But, good to know that perhaps that changed.
 
Haven't seen the Racer in person yet but I'm sure it's amazing. I love the V7 and Griso Guzzi's.
 
Corsa has a few V7's on the floor, and a couple are the chromed out versions. Its a really great looking retro ride, underpowered and not state of the art but maybe it wouldn't cost the moon to insure?

11K plus taxes for a 45hp bike = rip off

YMMV and depends on the rider.
If you stare at the bike (any bike for that matter) and feel strangely aroused, then it is worth it, no matter the price. At that point it becomes a question of having the money or not.

There is a used 2013 for sale in Kijiji, and I emailed the seller a few weeks ago, but he is asking too much money. The bike is still there.

Pretty sure I called about that one too... He told me 10k!
