And quite right too. They extended that thinking into scooter design too, which is why I love Italian scooters! Innocenti used a fashion designer to come up with designs for the model of Lambretta I own (and mechanically it's not bad either, was designed as a street-racer).
And believe me, it attracts attention all right. EVERYONE stops to look at me, I get smiles, waves, thumbs-up gestures, when I park people come over to admire it and ask me about it [img]smile.gif[/img] Same with my Vespa, tho on a lesser scale. I love it, both scooters were designed with posing in mind, and I wallow in the attention. [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
