I'm getting there too (40 in a few months) but you DO still have that Mille in your line up, and the Le Mans is what, 90+ for both HP and torque? Not too shabby. The Thrux is obviously there because of it's beautiful design and not the power, but your garage has plenty-o-power...
Yes, the Mille is in mothballs at my sister's house in the USA awaiting my return. Even before my injury, I wasn't able to enjoy it to its fullest ability. As a rider, the Mille is out of my league
The V11 fits the sport touring bill to a T. Since most riding in the twistys is done between 50 and 80 mph, the Guzzi's power is more than capable. I came to the Guzzi from an FJ-1100, and the Guzzi sport tours just as capably as my old FJ, with an extra dollop of character
The Thruxton serves well on narrow, British back roads and the engine sounds like a proper motorbike with a surprising amount of torque, but lacks about 20 hp. Once the roads open up, I find myself longing for the extra punch of the Guzzi
