There should be an "On the short list" option. I also live close to the worlds best Moto Guzzi dealer so support isn't really an issue, I am definately interested in a Norge as an alternative to an R1200RT or a Harley Road Glide.....

All three would work for me, good dealer support for all three price isn't really an issue though the Norge is a few bucks cheaper, the Road Glide  a little slower...tough call..... Headscratch

I knew a guy who had one.

Cool looking, but he said the rotary engine made it handle too odd for him to get used to.

We joked that it looked like a remote flying drone.

I picked What would Spock ride because it was funny to think of what Spock would ride.

I say CBR1000RR; he'd ride it wickedly fast, never miss a shift, never bobble, and when you asked him how the ride was he'd answer dryly: "Facinating".

Mr. Scot would be on an Enfield that's "Given' ya all she can nooow! ya try poosh it anymore she's goona blow!"

McCoy (Bones) customer chopper trailer queen "Dammit Jim! I'm doctor not a motorcyclist!"

Cpt. Kirk Prolly would ride a Guzzi, and pick up hot aliens with it.

Nope, MG offerings are either lacking a cylinder, or have one too many. Wink

i was at a meet when a new guzzi rolled up and a well respected shop/owner mechanic (which sells the guzzis) rolled his eyes, i asked what that was about and he said, "i cant believe it actually made it here."

I'm not too sure it will be, but I have been eyeing the mid-late 90's 1100 Sports for a year or so.

I too went with financially irresponsible but in truth I'd love to buy one, the Norge appeals to me except for the insane bag release mechanism, and the sport model is awesome. What a wonderful sound they have. It is like a beemer with personality. I love them but alas will probably stick to what I know the beemers . Although I am starting to jones for a V Strom  650 and extend my touring to fire roads and other places I don't dare go on the beemer.
