As for the new 850 V7 Guzzi also mentioned by others....I believe that they will be a huge hit. The current V7 small block has done well and many just love them. The styling on the new model is simply gorgeous and the motor has already proven itself in the V85TT. The question with Guzzi is always the same as to the questionable dealer network and potential warranty issues, quirks. Both of my Guzzis have been trouble free so I'm biased. Once you've had a well sorted Guzzi it's hard not to have one around. And man, this one is a looker!

I went on the test ride yesterday, and the ride was nothing short of thrilling. The bike totally surprised me. It is so powerful, smooth, handles amazing, suspension was way better than expected, and fits me well enough (need a new seat, just like I needed on the CB1100).

The dealer is willing to take enough bikes in trade to cover the entire purchase price and then some....

Think I'm going to do it. Just have to figure out which bikes in the (overly large) stable will need to go....
