Yeah me too, California Vintage and the Norge. But then again, I also lust after the BMW R1200RT and the R1200GS. But then again, I also lust after The America, Tiger, and Rocket III. Now that I think about it, I want to ride just about every bike I see.

I was over at the Moto Guzzi dealership yesterday. I was looking at the Griso. It's a weird looking bike but not bad weird. One of my other hobbies is guitars and the Griso reminds me of those 1960s era electrics guitars that had lots of mysterious-looking buttons and had names like "Futurama III".

I'm half-way lusting after one, but I'm already lusting after so many bikes it's getting ridiculous.

Can barely afford my hobbies now, Trap shooting, Target shooting, C & R license, Bonneville, home remodeling, maybe in a couple years a Moto Guzzi can find its way home with me or an HD Sportster. So little time, so little money, such expensive toys.

A few years back, both Aprilia and Moto Guzzi were hard up for cash, and didn't have a lot of money for new product development. Now they are both owned by Piaggio, which is heavily investing in both brands. Expect a lot of new and exciting bikes from Guzzi in the future, they're a great motorcycle, with a lot of true heritage and style. Aprilias are nice too, kinda like a more bang for the buck version of a Ducati, and the V4 Aprilia 200 + hp engine is going to be a force to be reckoned with, serious technology and performance there.

Just launched in Italy... they have a few close up pics (click on image)... looks quite nice... wish they would come up with a 1100 or 1200 cc engine... 750 is a bit too small... even slower than my scrambler

Still like the 1970's 850 Lemans cafe. All the Guzzi have an appeal to me. Don't see many in my neck of the woods. There is a rat Guzzi in this town also. The rat bike has attitude for miles.
