But it made me feel like an unfit old bloke having sex with a 20-year-old gymnast...totally outclassed!
Yeah that little RXV was lovely wasn't it? Shame so many of them fell apart and gave their owners untold grief.

As for the gymnastics, when I think parallel bars it's a couple of pubs facing each other...

I've had my fingers burnt (literally) by Italian exotica before but this looks the most likely replacement for the aging F650GS that I've seen yet.
I wonder if it will have the security enabled only starts on full right hand lock device my last Italian bike had.

Looks like a photoshopped brochure pic of a T7.... many of the cycle components look essentially identical to the T7, and the bodywork bears more than a passing resemblance, too.

Agreed,

It’s clearly the T7 exhaust/hanger bracket, swing arm, pillion peg mount and complete fork/wheel assembly.
