defects CB 1100

[LongRanger_imp]

Ale72, I am 1,98 and every bike seems too small for me. Before my CB1100, I owned a Guzzi V7 Cafe’ and a V7 Classic, both of which were smaller and lighter than the CB1100 but just as enjoyable, with more engine character. I don’t think your objections can be construed as defects — they are simply intrinsic qualities of the CB1000 that you don’t value. Like Frulk, I too would own another Guzzi if the US dealership network was more robust and supportive — they’re wonderful motorbikes!

I’ve enjoyed riding in your country several times and while I didn’t notice a lot of Moto Guzzi’s (mostly BMW GS’s), if I lived there, I would own one in a heartbeat. Good luck!
