I had to sort a charging problem on a Le Mans a while back so have some limited experience of their electrics. Primitive comes to mind.... :icon_rolleyes:
And my electrics didn't like the rain, a common problem I've heard. BUT! on a positive note... erm,  :icon_scratch: the motor is similar to a CX500 in appearance?  :augie

And there the similarity ends, of course! Although it is interesting how a cult following has developed for the good ol' Plastic Maggot.

One of my riding buddies has a Norge. Loves it. But doesn't ride it much.

You could always sell it for what you paid for it (or more?)...... and then have lots of stories to tell as an official ex-Guzzi owner. :icon_wink:

"Yes, there I was, much like  Lord Cardigan on his trusty steed, motoring down the lane, engine roaring, wheels turning, wind blowing over my ever increasing bald spot, when all at once it hit me - why the hell did I buy this thing"  that's pretty much the story :thumbsup
