Must be dreadful to keep clean, my kitchen is matte black too. I cry every day.
OMG, that must be a horror to keep clear of oily fingerprints, dust, ect.

Rookie error………but surely we’ve all forgot our Loggia at some point?.

runs off to google loggia………looks like what we in Scotland would call a sit-ooterie.

To be honest, not many recent cars really float my boat. I liked cars better when they had corners and didn't look like they'd just been turned out of a jelly mould.

I'm also generally more interested in vehicles with fewer wheels. :)

I looked and was thinking OK what is it about this motorcycle.... and then I saw it... It's a triple. I've never heard a triple that I know of but I read they have a nice sound.

Triples do sound good! Somewhat like a low revving flat 12 cylinder.

Gorgeous bike!
It held it's own against the Japanese bikes of the era. & I would say that it looks quite a bit better. Automotive designerAlejandro de Tomaso, an Argentinean, was best known for his sports car company and its iconic Pantera model. He also owned a number of other Italian marquees such as Maserati, Innocetti, Motto Guzzi and Benelli. Here is the non-Cafe Racer form with the later cost cutting exhaust pipes.

With 6 cylinders!

It's a triple.
There were a few British triples, the Triumph Trident, the BSA Rocket 3 and the Hurricane, although I think they all had essentially the same 750cc engine. There may have been some others.

The Itialians did some as well:

That was a great looking car; I'm not sure about the chrome wheels on this one, but I love the colour:

I remember the KEF rep had a Moto Guzzi 1200 or some ridiculous opposed twin volume. It was a true thumper. I can only imagine riding that thing. :D

Many times aftermarket wheels help the look. In this instance, not so much, I think. Test drive of the GTS model in white:
.
& another six MC: 1978 till 1982 Honda CBX. Honda did have ample experience with inline-six cylinder motorcycle engines from their grand prix race bikes from the 1960s, and they knew that a large-capacity inline-six would give them the edge on their competition.
