Very nice bike. What exactly is it thats different about Guzzi's (sp?). Is it a different type of engine. People seem to talk about them as though they are different.

very different ! guzzi riders are a strange bunch.its 1100 cc of red italian thumping v- twin(sounds good eh)that wobbles round corners ! the engine is a good handwarmer on a cold day.

Nice Bike
Never would have thought of one for long distance touring. What is it like for comfort. Most people at present tend to think of the BMW GS range for touring. Han you any problems on the tour?

Bet a lot of GS owners were disappointed when one of the BMW's shocks failed after only 4000 miles on The Long Way Down, just as they were getting onto the rough stuff. Still think the guzzi is nicer looking bike though. Ride Safe..........
