Not an ADV bike. That rules out the Guzzi V85-TT.
The V7 is proper slow and everything else is a massive cruiser.

The Griso was the last good looking Guzzi they made though

Correct on the first but not on the latter.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 3:32 pm for some reason I've ignored the thread title.
So its something that others on this very forum have/had?
But not Japanese?
Not sure this is very fair, tbh, as I think I wrote my first post a bit too mischeviously.

Re: Imitation, flattery and all that
Indeed, well done that man.
Not sure I am quick enough to be anyone's wingman lol
Yes, I know hipster fashion but I like the look of it and the thought of it in the garage. However, if my back really flares on it, its going to become a really expensive ornament! Weather for tomorrow looks shite as well, sigh.
