Plenty of known issues with the model that i was unaware of until after i got the bike. Forgot to mention the constant transmission whine in all gears and even on overrun - shame cause i liked the very light weight and styling.

good to hear that the general feel of the bike is as to be expected from an Italian (light and good handling)
But that gearbox....we are spoiled with our silky smooth japanese bikes.
Luckely I don't have that complaint with my Multi.
I wonder if the gearbox of the V9 and V7 (on wich this V85 is based) are the same?
And those issues are typical for those models? you are not an isolated case?

someone that has interested in a Guzzi, because of its lightness I doubt will have interest in a heavy bike..
