Reply #1 - 09/11/14 at 09:25:18 Well.....it all looks pretty interesting.....except I can't fall in love with that gap between the seat and the back fender. That back tire and fender bouncing up and down always looks weird to me when I follow a bike that has a suspension like that.

Reply #2 - 09/11/14 at 10:03:46 I'm with Dave on not liking the huge gap between fender and seat. First thing I thought of when I saw this was an ad I saw on CL the other day...but they were actually missing a fender at all. http://saltlakecity.craigslist.org/mcy/4649489268.html

What a waste of a Ducati Monster! Why would they leave the passenger pegs on that Morphadite? Naaah....you don't need a headlight!

Like Schwinn, Norton, etc., the only thing original of the new Matchless is the name. The name is now owned by Franco Malenotti. There will be 'limited production' motorcycles, but the big money will be the "extensive apparel and accessories line to accompany the motorcycles"

The purpose of the stretched rear wheel is to lighten the tire so they can plant the front wheel and spin the rear in circles to burn rubber.

EJID, do me a favor and drive down to Idaho Falls and punch that guy in the pecker. I'm all for customs, but sheeeesh! The Matchless doesn't bother me too much, though. It's unique, but not overboard.
