By my rough calculations, approximately 20% of ST.N now rides a Guzzi.

I thought it might be timely to revive this thread.

Serious replies only please.

Someone in Germany sells a street legal kit for it.

Yes plz! I had a Mk II LeMans for about a week back in the early 90's when I managed a bike shop. The owner of the shop bought it out from under me when he found out what it was worth. It was offered to us by a car dealer who took it as partial payment for a car. Ive wanted one for years.

I'd take this one...or an 80's Guzzi I could turn into something like this....

I picked "I want to date Brazilian supermodels".   Shoot, or anyone for that matter.   Bigsmile

Like so many of the poll's nowadays, Orson forgot the "not only NO, but HECK NO" button...  


Like the video clip of Hitler's men getting him the wrong bike..  "If I want to plow a field, I'll get a proper frigg'n tractor"...  

Oh, wait...   I think the engine is made by Allis Chalmers..  Headscratch

Linky to new BREVA..

This is what I had open in another tab when I opened this thread today.*



 Thumbsup Bella!











*I also had open in other tabs: the R1200R, 1125CR, Shiver, XR1200, 675STR, SportClassic Sport, Gladius, and the CBR600RR.  So while the Breva Sport has my attention, so do many others.

My answer doesn't match any of the listed responses.  The Moto Guzzi Stelvio in high on my "wanna" list.

In red of course!

Spock would ride a Hayabusa for obvious reasons, and so do I.

When Moto Guzzi makes a Hayabusa, wake me up.
Logged
His bike - 2000 Hayabusa (because it's important to have the speedo that reads 220 MPH...)
 
Her bike - 2005 CBR600F4i (I'm not even allowed on it, but I'm supposed to change it's oil)

actually, Spock continually struggles to suppress his human desires for lust and wanton desire. The emotionless Vulcan side he displays to the world is but a mere shell devoid of flowery meadows or puppy dawgs.

Spock's hidden soul cries out. Spock is a Guzzisti inside.

I confess to having been looking last winter. The local Guzzi dealer just announced it's going tits up. Great deals! Now for service... Where did I put that map?

I like Guzzi's. I had a 750 Ambassador back in the early seventies. Great touring bike in its time. A little bit on the loud side, sounded almost like a Harley. Not much vibration for a big twin. All in all a decent machine for the time. I have not seen that many on the road lately.

The Stelvio is a sweet bike.  The Breva 1100 is really nice too.  Yes, if I can the $ I'd buy one.
