There's a lot of entertainment beyond 4.000 rpm.
But I rarely use it, this kind of fun package.
I mostly prefer the more decent one.....

For sure, the CB is eager to rev and I occasionally use more of the tachometer. But my comment was that I rarely need to, since it has plenty of oomph at more sedate revs.

I too visit the Guzzi forum (just recently sold my CALVIN) and I agree with Frulk. I'm waiting to buy the new MG Roame,r version 2, when it comes to the US later this year.

I'm with you. I give the engine a "burst" once in a while, but 99% of the time I just ride it and enjoy how well it runs at "reasonable" revs.
I'm not a red-liner or an engine thrasher, I just enjoy the ride.

Reminds me of the first Guzzi I ever saw back in 1972 or 1973. A 500 as I recall and a lovely bike.

Especially considering how lifeless my Breva 1100 was below 4000 rpm. One of the reasons I traded it for the Honda.

Look close and you will see that the foot pegs and shifter are set back to the rear for a more upright seating position. Not sure if I like the revised seat. The revised model also appears to have more tire clearance at rear fender; handlebars appear to be slightly lower, and the passenger foot peg bracket has also been changed.
