Amazing bike.  Shame about the colour.  

Might be possible to just order CF parts to replace the green shit...

It's actually tall.  I wear length 32 inch pants and I can just flat foot it.



Yeah it looked short in rear is why I asked. Must be the angle of the photo. Yeah that's a different green but I like it.  Thumbsup Thumbsup

Beautiful piece of rolling Eye-tal-i-an art, 'askew.  Betcha the sound is even better.

Empty gas tank = good deal on the selling price.  They couldn't afford to give you any $4.50 a gallon of the good stuff.  

Have fun; my Breva 1100 was a hoot to ride.  Remember to surf the torque; Guzzis love to play along at 5-6K on a winding road.

Here's to many happy kilometers, er, miles.   Thumbsup

It's actually tall.  I wear length 32 inch pants and I can just flat foot it.
But I have not fiddled with the suspension yet.  It is a little stiff for my manly 150lbs, but also it needs some miles on it to settle/break in.

What blows is they gave it to me w/ an empty gas tank...  I picked it up just as they closed, and only noticed it as I left..
But they did put a battery tender cable on it, so I figure that made it even.


Heh, he said stiff and manly...and blows.  Heh heh.

But seriously, very nice ride.  

I wanted one, but I just can't swallow a shaft.  Really, I just can't handle CARC.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.  Smile

Due to complaints over Guzzi content in the GENERAL Section, I've had to move this thread to the private Guzzi Section.

It is a Special Edition, after all.  A more exclusive forum seems appropriate.

I hope you're kidding about what color they told you it was.  FWIW, I really like that color, but if they lied to you about it I would have some choice words for them.

1/  Yes I was kidding.  I love the colour.
2/ Right?!!  That would have been too obvious.  Wink
