I keep looking at this and..... I'm not impressed. I'm sure that technically it's complicated, took a lot of work to be put together and runs. However, where is the beauty in this machine? It just looks like a bunch of stuff stuck together to make an odd looking motorcycle. Question. How few original Innocenti parts can be used and the contraption can still be called a Lambretta?

Yep I appreciate the work that's gone in to it but doesn't do anything for me either.
Did you have to do that?
