I like the look of that, it has nice echoes of the classic 3 1/2s from the 70s. The only negative thing for me is the Ducati-lookalike exhausts, they should've done something a bit different there.

In the mid-90s I test-rode a 1979 Strada 3 1/2 at North Leics Motorcycles, cracking bike at the time. Such a friendly bike, and handling / brakes were as good as they're reputed to be.

In many ways the naked SV is the bike that Morini should have been building, they are the logical extension of the MM500.
