NOT Honda related - Moto Guzzi question...

"and they look faster than they go, so get bought by 'that' sort of rider, who probably gets bored with it quickly and sells it on'

Yeah - could be why the one I'm purchasing has had 3 owners in less than 4 years!!  I'll be the 4th and who knows, maybe the fifth will be coming along soon!  I THINK I'll like it a lot but only time will tell...

Picked up the '21 V7 Special today and rode the 94 miles home mostly in the rain!  Never rode or ever sat on a Guzzi previously.  It's an interesting motorcycle and about as opposite from the CB400F as it is possible to be.  I think the V7 is the perfect bike when my wife is with me on her bike (Honda 750) but for solo rides I prefer the CB400.

The thing with any Italian bike is stick with it. You will develop a love hate relationship and inevitable electrical issues. But once there sorted there great.

I have owned my aprilia for 22 years. Yes it goes wrong and parts are hard to get but I will never part with it
.every journey is an adventure

My Guzzi IV had for around 10 years all that has really needed to make it reliable was a direct feed from the alternator to the battery to fix the well know Italian issue that makes electricity disappear.
