We Say: Motoroyale Brings Yet Another Italian Motorcycle To Make Our Streets Prettier.
There’s no denying that the FB Mondial HPS 300 looks good. It is, after all, Italian and they know a thing or two about how to make a motorcycle that is hard to peel your eyes away from. The HPS looks like the illegitimate child of a cafe racer and a scrambler. ‘HPS’ comes from the word ‘Hipster’ so I’m assuming their target audience is the type of people who buy Macbooks and work out of the closest Starbucks. The bike draws plenty of cues from the bad-boy street racer from the ’60s with its stance, compact dimensions, bar-end mirrors and ergonomics. But then you’ve got dual-sport tyres and the high-set exhaust lending itself to the scrambler style. It’s a bit of an eclectic mix of individual parts, but it somehow all comes together rather well in the HPS. The sheer number of hits my Instagram account got since I posted a picture of it is testament to that.
