That is one sexy beast! I know nothing about Guzzi…
Italian Harley, way cooler though, nice fusion of old and new(brakes,electronics ,suspension is modern, power train is vintage , far more rare on the road than Harley’s)
 
Didnt realize that was a griso, alot more engine and brakes compared to his old honda!
 
@Lightcycle your wife had one of these no?

 
Facts, less is more in life.

Less planning, less thinking, less eating, less packing when going on adventures, less weight, less horsepower...

Yep, she rented one in Gran Canaria. It was the Desert Sled version of the Scrambler, more off-road oriented - taller suspension, spoked wheels, 19" front, dirt-bike high front fender, etc.

rental company took off the stock 90/10s and put street-oriented rubber on it

She liked it, but said it was more of a day-tripper than a tourer. Very nimble and super-fun in the twisties, but small gas tank = poor range. Also, the heat coming off the air-cooled engine was not awesome in stop-and-go traffic, and the ~73 hp was inadequate for spur-of-the-moment passing on the highways - you needed to plan out every passing maneuver ahead of time: be in the right gear, get a good run at it, etc. as opposed to twist+go with a high hp touring bike.

Still, it was the right bike for the kind of riding we were doing and it looks great as well! Would make a great back-roads weapon.
