Hah!In my entire riding career I have only purchased one "new" bike. As much as I'd LIKE to buy this thing... I can't justify spending the money. Maybe I'll buy a pre '07 KLR and paint it to match.
The MSRP is the big question for me. I'd prefer a V7 styled bike with the 85 engine. If I buy a V85 and then 6 months later Guzzi drops the bike in street trim I'll lament that....I coulda had a V8!Anyway, MSRP under 13k? I'm in on a V85. I'd trade my 1400 towards one because if I have a dualsport I'll never ride the big Cali. If they come out with a street styled V85 or it's on the near horizon I might skip the V85 dualsport and wait for it. A V7/8 with 80hp at the crank and a similar weight ticks all the boxes I've ever found lacking with the V7. There's a big difference in buying a motorcycle for the motorcycle and buying a motorcycle for the ride. My big V-Strom was the most boring and ugly bike I've ever owned. It also suited the kind of riding I most enjoy more than any other bike I've ever owned. It sucked to look at but some of the best rides of my life were on it. It was the polar opposite of my 93' Ducati 900SS. I loved the motorcycle but it was truly horrible on the roads I most enjoy, uncomfortable and I would have broken the frame if I kept it. I think the V85 might meet the pride of ownership itch AND be a platform for some great rides. By the time the V85 comes out I'll probably be thoroughly sick of the 1400 and ready to pull the trigger.
Not planning on purchasing this model. I am interested in the other models using this engine though.
I�ll get one Huzo if you need a guinea pig, I�ll even let you ride it - lol. If everyone contributes ten or twenty bucks I should almost have enough moolah.KevSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
