The long wheelbase on a modern sport-tourer may make for great comfort 2 up and incredible stability, but it also makes for a bike that lacks the crispness in turns in rapid succession, and has to be generally muscled around more.

I think this might be what scares off any Nancy boys from owning a Moto Guzzi.

one look at the effort needed to guide one of these things usually sends them directly to their nearest Ducati Boo-tique to collect their European shoulder bag.
