They really are beautiful bikes. Every single one of them.
They are also specialists in shipping bikes worldwide.
Take a look, but give your wife your credit card to look after until you've got over the initial urge to buy one:

I'm disappointed that in 2024 engine vibration even needs to be mentioned. Especially on a bike that needs your fat wallet to obtain. I guess someone has to keep Loctite in business.

Get a big dog and strap him down.
My now departed Lab, Grub was a good sidecar weight but not a swinger!
I had a red kelpie called Jake that loved motorcycles and side cars and learnt to counter balance on the chair like a swinger and lean with the bike when riding solo.
He used to sit on the back of my Guzzi Lemans at 190-200kmh or on the tank at 140kmh with his front legs on my arms with his head in the wind flapping a wet 8" tongue in your face.
