My new Italian girlfriend - EGAlvarez_imp - 07-04-2016
I've sold three bikes including my CB in the past few months. I have decided keep my trusty BMW GS; especially since I have her exactly the way I want her and she does anything I need. This left me with a huge piece of vacant concrete in the garage. Just for fun, I went snooping around online and in a local showroom during my lunch break last Tuesday and saw this gorgeous bike during my lunch break! I went home and watched every YouTube video I could find regarding this bike. The next morning, I placed a deposit on her. I pick her up tomorrow after work!
She's enormous weighing in at 750 pounds, she has gorgeous art deco styling, huge radial ABS brakes, longitudinal crank shaft, three traction control modes (rain, touring, sport), heated grips, security system, a bunch of LED lights, and shaft drive! Looks like a comfy place to spend a day!

That's quite a beast, EGA. Congratulations. I'm sure you'll enjoy her and we'll look forward to reading a ride report.

No way I'm giving up my CB for that barge
J/k Eddie. MG's are cool. MY brother had a 73 850 Eldorado we loved, and he recently test rode a 2015 Eldorado and liked it a lot too.I'd love to ride a Norge but am afraid I would like it too much lol. We recently got a new Guzzi dealer about 35 miles from here. We hadn't had a dealer since the mid 70s. Since then the closest dealer has been 250 miles away.

What a beaut EG. Not really very heavy for it's class as the ST1300 weighs nearly as much. Bet you'll be on this one a lot.

I prefer the white ones. A buddy has a black one and says it is the best long distance touring bike he has ever had and he's been riding since the 1960's.
The only some what common failure mode, screws on the exhaust cover fall out. Something to keep an eye on.
I've been eyeing one (as well as an Indian) but unsure I want to go heavier. sigh You may want to check out the wildguzzi forum.
