It's a nice bike ,in its own 'quirky' way! Ride it in a 'gentlemanly' manner,and its fine. But push it,and it becomes a bit of a handful! I think my tiger is better in every department..except the brakes! Guzzi has Brembo,and their good! But I enjoyed my outing on it,but after riding it,I realised how good the 'steamer' is! :thumbsup
Did you have to wear the obligatory 'piss-pot' & goggles when you rode the T110? :icon_lol:

If Guzzi had put the older 2 valve engine in the Stelvio I might have had one. In fact I always lusted after the V-11 Lemans, but totally impractical for me. Nice bikes in someone elses garage
Guzzis are an interesting choice. So..... odd but desirable and weird and questionable and and and....
In an ideal world I think we'd all have one.... as about a third or fourth bike.

:iagree ....after a Bonneville or Thruxton.
Well there's a puzzle. Bonne/Thruxton/Speed twin or guzzi v7 or 9? Hmmm... not sure what I'd go for.
So am I right in thinking that...
First bike = tiger for away days
Second bike = dirt bike for dirty weekends
Third bike = rocket 3 for sun shine days
Fourth = dilemna as above for Sunday pub runs?

Having had (and really enjoyed) a Thruxton, that would be a no-brainer.
Fourth: what about a tiddler so that the ride to the pub is at a speed where you can really enjoy the ride and smell the roses.......
Black Tiger can only smell hops :rfl
