Absolutely gorgeous lambretta. I remember the real ones when I was a young biker and this captures the real thing perfectly. 8-)

I always liked the GPz900 Ninja. I lusted after one 30 years ago and still lust after one today. Unfortunately, my wife says that I already have too many motorcycles :roll:
