New Moto Guzzi

Looks like another manufacturer is going retro. I look at it as a sign of success Triumph has had with the Bonneville. In an article in Motorcycledaily.

My lord, that new Guzzi is perfection. I like that far more than the new Ducks. It looks as much like what it supposed to be as ours do. Lovely.

Hmmm, yet another retro bike??? I really like it... agree it looks better than the Ducati retro. Can't say that I'd actually mind having a Moto Guzzi either. So now I wonder what the price is gonna be?

I like that . Looks like a 750 though . Love to see how they're going to price it ? Guzzis tend to be priced a little high for what they are .

Hey, that's really nice. Looks like a guzzi drivetrain stuffed into a New Bonneville from 50 feet. I might have to get me one of those. I wonder if they're gonna do a V11 version.

Although I'm sure the Sport Classic would perform better this bike has potential in IMO.

Very interesting. I will definitely be test-riding one of those to see if it's as fun as it looks. Shaft-drive is sweet.
