This site is for those of you that that are not just sheep that buy vehicles from manufacturers that are themselves just following the flow of boring fashion. These are vehicles designed from first principles with a clean sheet of paper. These vehicles redefine what vehicles can do and how they should be made and most importantly ridden. Sheep should not enter this site, you have been warned. Return to Monty’s index page |

First get a heap of bits ,scratch head and wonder how it works, where’s the Haynes manual for this thing, PANIC, what have I done ?
Start joining the dots, use lots of sellotape, string and sticky back plastic and it starts to look more sensible and maybe achievable.
Note how steering head is within the petrol tank. |

Long and straight induction tracts between air filters and carbs improve on Guzzi’s design to improve torque. |
