Its the first time I'll say this about my CB, I never thought I would, but dang I mean it, if Guzzi decides to produce this thing, I'll be trading my CB (if a testride is as good as the looks)
High quality shocks, big 21L tank, tough looks, shaft drive and 80hp.
Only question, what will the wet weight be if this bike goes into production, lighter than the CB?
What a gorgeous bike!
Looks sharp, but when it comes to my hard-earned money, I have every right to my prejudices. An Italian bike? Only after a few years of independent statistics on the reliability.
I do not consider shaft as an advantage, perhaps au-contraire, but it would not automatically disqualify this bike. However, I would (will?) seriously consider a motorcycle with only half the required number of cylinders if and when I realize there is no I4 around that I am capable of managing the mass of.
Also, what's with the hot pipe on the left side of the bike? Is that some enduro-style abomination I'm not familiar with? OK, there's no chain access to consider, but still - why?
