I don't know why but l can't see me ever having a Guzzi. Engine configuration, cx500s who can tell..

Slight difference for me, i cant see me ever owning a honda... , wife has one but still the same feeling.
if free and in good nick maybe but certainly not with my own money.

Had a 400/4 when l was 18 then moved onto a cb900. I liked both those bikes and the 900 was very stylish l thought. It got nicked. Never had a Honda since.

Im back at work tonight with the rampaging schizophrenics and should be in bed asleep.. I thought looking at and reading this article might help. it didn't. though I did giggle somewhat while reading the specs. until I got to the seat height and came over all of a judder.  Good job I'm sitting down.

 

They both have brembo brakes and no sign of a silly beak. thats about as positive as I can get. also the colour way of the Guzzi doesnt look like it was designed by an ex employee of lego. so thats an improvement over those weirdly coloured 850 wotsits from 7 years ago.

 

Brembo brakes...  I do think about them often. I come over all wistful and nostalgic and that.

As a new convert to Guzzis I'd like to say Guzzi for my choice. However I reckon my infatuation with ADV bikes is over. The top heavy design they all share isn't appealing.
