Just a REALLY ugly version of the Ducati Monster?View attachment 1145218
2024 MV Agusta Rush 1000.
My question is......is it too ugly to be seen riding it in public?
shame but very very wise too, down here bike vs car deaths are growing fast even more than shark attacks.. I still ride but only early morning local rural roads after the tourist arrive its dangerous. Combined with my aged rider skills & poor reaction times im prolly a few years behind your decision..Hanging up my helmet. Been riding since 1973 and still have lots of confidence in my riding ability, but the cagers are scaring me more and more. Cell phones causing more accidents nowadays than drunk drivers ... but at least most drunk driving occurs at night when I'm usually not riding. Just sold my all-time favorite bike after riding it 70K miles over the last 16 years. Sadly, I've been on it less than 100 miles during 2023 ... figured I better let it go before it goes to waste. It sold in just 3 weeks and the new owner sent an email saying he loves it. Do I miss it? Not really ... so I guess the timing was right to let someone else enjoy it.

100% situational awareness is a key element of good a motorcyclist. I also believe those of us who got our start in the dirt have developed riding abilities beyond those who have been on pavement only.When I ride, it's a whole different level of awareness that I go to. I can easily maintain that elevated level thru-out my ride.
Many issues with driver vs cars my focus is the modern car A pillar long thick raked back its hides you as approach intersection.

I ride almost exclusively off road lately and have noticed when I ride on pavement at higher speeds to steer it is lean in and counter steer something I never notice off road.100% situational awareness is a key element of good a motorcyclist.
