Dakar NTX750 - isn't this lovely?

Beauty is very subjective of course, but (apart from the huge orange driving light) I really like this -

Which looks like it is an indicator, which has been robbed from a British Leyland bus, found in the back of some hoarders junkyard.

Looks utilitarian in a nice way for sure.
 
Looks good to me to Paul, (ex that yellow lamp) but what that fiddly bit on top of the tank?
 
No, sorry, I don’t like it.
What’s going on with that awful belly pan too?
Front mud guard is too high at the front. It would block the headlight from shining on then road.
Panniers look like they’ve slipped down.
No. :D
 
Not sure, it could be lovely. That seat and seat pan definitely need rethinking along with the hideous orange light, pannier rack looks a bit odd too. Is this real or AI?
 
The seat unit is a bit of a mess, unrelated to the tank.
But I quite like the look of a Guzzi small block in a trailie bike
 
I like its minimalist look. It looks like it would be pretty light weight, and with decent suspension.

I agree the seat looks more flat tracker than enduro and doesn't really suit it.

However, Guzzis with any real off road capability are few and far between (compare their numbers to airheads, for instance) and I think the concept of a Guzzi motor in a decent off road chassis is really appealing.
 
That is a cool looking bike
 
This “special” ( special needs?) bike doesn’t work aesthetically….
Harley style tank, = wrong , street tracker seat unit= wrong , bash plate/ oil catcher = wrong,
arse is drooping like a dog with worms scooting along the carpet…
As said before, front mudguard sits wrong, orange oversized auxiliary lamps look shite….


All in all it’s a dogs dinner. I’m sure there are very nice off road guzzi specials, but this is NOT one of them.
