I don't mind the looks of the Guzzi, have never ridden one, but the specs look like a GS500, the newer ones, just shy of an SV650. It's an 850, Honda was getting the same numbers out of a 750 in '69 and they ran forever.
Hopefully someone who's had the experience will tell me how wrong I am. I do have a friend with an older V7 that has had many problems with it. I don't ride with him often and have had to push him several blocks to a friends house til he could get the bike in the morning. (so it didn't end up in someone's van) and I've had to wait with him for a tow. (Also not fun). I guess if you're not keeping the Honda, I'm voting for the BMW.
