eerily similar in nature

Guzzi: Fighter jet technology
Honda: 1930s biplane technology.
Actually, the Honda video is just like my daily commute. I roll my Honda out of the garage, get on, and ride while airplanes fly over my head. They are airliners on final to John Wayne Airport, but otherwise…

I'm sold! Where do I go to buy my airplane?

Hmmm, yeah. Like that V100 Mandello.

The 2 promotion videos have some similarity, but Guzzi has a clear historic link with airplanes:
"Moto Guzzi was conceived by two aircraft pilots and their mechanic serving in the Corpo Aeronautico Militare (the Italian Air Corp, CAM) during World War I: Carlo Guzzi, Giovanni Ravelli and Giorgio Parodi. Assigned to the same Miraglia Squadron based outside Venice,[10] the three became close, despite coming from different socio-economic backgrounds. The trio envisioned creating a motorcycle company after the war. Guzzi would engineer the motor bikes, Parodi (the son of wealthy Genovese ship-owners) would finance the venture, and Ravelli (already a famous pilot and motorcycle racer) would promote the bikes with his racing prowess. Guzzi and Parodi (along with Parodi's brother) formed Moto Guzzi in 1921. Ravelli, ironically, had died just days after the war's end in an aircraft crash and is commemorated by the eagle's wings that form the Moto Guzzi logo."
And that Mandello is a very nice bike indeed...

Or...Kawasaki / Top Gun from 1986!
My goodness, that [url=https://www.motoguzzi.com/us_EN/v100-mandello/]Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello in green, silver, and gold is absolutely breathtaking!

It will be interesting to see what happens to the head in a low speed or even stationary fall with that new exhaust position, very brave indeed. I can see huge engine bars being the first aftermarket offering.

The Mandello is a sharp looking bike. I like how the exhaust ports out the side of the pistons.
I wonder how well the "active aerodynamics" work. It's an interesting concept.
