I recently bought a new Moto Guzzi California Vintage. Understandably, I've been doing all my riding on the Cali of late. It's really nice...comfortable, handsome, and convenient with it's locking bags. However, in the interest of fairness I rode the Bonnie today. What a gas! I hadn't realized how well I'd sorted the tuning and the handling and brakes are excellent as well. I suppose it took having something to compare it to. It's really extraordinary how really competent our bikes are. I'll still be using the Guzzi for long trips, but that Triumph will be a fast friend for life...

Congrats on the new ride. Need some pic's of the pair.

Wish we had a real MG dealer here, would like to take a look at the Norge.

Very nice and +1 on wishing for a nearby dealer. I looked very hard at the MG when I decided on the Triumph. It was just such a low point for the company and the area dealers were dropping the line. I know you'll get many happy miles of riding on both your EXCELLENT choices.

Ride safe, please post some updates on how she works for you.

Nice to hear, thanks! These Bonnies truly are overachievers.
