Bike shop round the corner from me had one of the Lego coloured ones for sale, they're a physically large bike and look bulky

I looked one over about a week or two ago in Chichester - they're bigger than your average go to work bike yes, but as an 'Adventure' bike I thought was actually quite compact.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 10:32 am Bike shop round the corner from me had one of the Lego coloured ones for sale, they're a physically large bike and look bulky
Unfortunately the dealer was completely uninterested in talking to the only potential customer in the shop.

They're tiny... for an ADV bike.
It was the first thing that struck me in the stealership.
Maybe Cheesy is a smidget?

I think they ae quite pretty. But I've never been a great fan of Guzzis based on the small block engine. They are getting better with newer iterations, but I think Guzzi have missed a trick by not continuing to produce big block based sporty bikes. I think the 1200 Griso was the last of its kind.
Re: Moto Guzzi V85 TT Guardia d'Onore
Never a truer word spoken, really starting to gel with my 1200 sport, thought I'd miss the pazazz of my Centauro when the revs hit the sweet spot but the 2v 1200 is really nice and smooth (not sure that's possible with a Guzzi) higher up the rev range, I guess the fragility of the earlier 4v engine wrecked their reputation some whatTrogladyte wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 1:12 pm I think they ae quite pretty.

£2.5k overpriced.
Shame... it's a Guzzi I could see myself owning.

I could see myself on one. Ditto the new Mandello thingy, that hasn't been launched yet.
