I took the model line from MGs Official Site but left out some sub-models, trying to keep the list somewhat manageable.

If you have a Moto Guzzi, take it that you no longer had it or them and now you would be given free, any model in the line up you wanted.

Time to choose.

Since I love my Breva 1100 I had to vote for the Norge. I've never been on a Griso but it would have to be my 2nd choice.

Hey - how come there's no "all of the above" option.

JeffOlson · « **Reply #3 on:** January 06, 2016, 09:35:49 PM »

If I could have more, I would like a California Touring SE, a V7 II Stone, a V7 II Racer, a Griso, and maybe a Stelvio NTX...

The bike I just purchased, a V7 II Special.

Why the Special rather than the Stone? Because the look of the spoke wheels overrode the common sense of buying tubeless tyres. I know that I will live to regret this.

Why the Special rather than the Racer? Because, despite the jazzy red frame, I couldn't look anyone in the face riding a 50hp bike with pseudo racing detailing. Just, no.

What the Hell? I jumped on the MGX-21 bandwagon.

Griso 1200 voter here. I've only ridden the 1100 version which I thought was amazing, I'd imagine the 1200 would only be more so.

Whichever one that I could immediately sell for the most money and buy something I really wanted.

The new Eldo

Guzzistajohn · « **Reply #9 on:** January 06, 2016, 11:41:40 PM »

Not crazy 'bout the new ones, I'll take an old Tonti, gimme a LeMans. New bikes, Triumph all the way. Haters sound off!

Doppelgaenger · « **Reply #10 on:** January 07, 2016, 02:35:52 AM »

So far the only voter for the v7 racer.

I already have a big block, I'd like to get a small block for the stable.

omega1987 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 07, 2016, 03:37:10 AM »

For me it would have to be the V7 stone as it's a refinement on my Breva and more practical than the other v7 variants with fork gaters and solid wheels.

Farmer Dan · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2016, 04:17:08 AM »

I just love the classy style of the Eldorado.

Steph · « **Reply #13 on:** January 07, 2016, 05:09:16 AM »

Where is the:
Not currently made/ will stick with my Tonti
Option?

cwiseman · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2016, 06:11:38 AM »

As much as I would love to own a Stelvio I'm afraid I can't give it my vote, having rode one I've figured out it would be a one way ticket to jail! So the Eldo got my vote!

Now that's just mean

One vote for the Griso, best of both worlds superb handling and 100 rw hp.

Kev m · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2016, 07:29:47 AM »

Because the poll was "if we didn't have one" I picked a V7II Stone.

But IF I still had my Stone, I'd have picked Eldo (or maybe Audace).

"Immediately" is a relative term. In the Guzzi world that could easily mean 9 to 12 months

I find the poll results interesting and a bit conflicting with the "Who bought a new Guzzi in 2015 and what did you purchase thread?". I think at least half and perhaps slightly more purchased one of the V7 variants

kirb · « **Reply #19 on:** January 07, 2016, 07:54:40 AM »

Having an 1100 Griso and NTX I would have to go with the 1400... The Audace is interesting. Still a very heavy bike for what it is...

I pretty much flipped a coin on my purchase. I was looking at $7k V7 Special and $10k Cal 14 Custom, so price wasn't really an issue.

I almost went with the Cal 14 Custom, but decided on the V7 Special because I know my riding will be limited over the next couple of years and I wanted something that could ride on my Versa-Haul carrier, on the back of my Suburban. And, the V7 Special is a hoot around town.

As much as I enjoy the V7 Special, a Cal 14 Custom would have been a fun bike. My next bike will probably be a bigger, more touring-oriented bike. That will be a few years. The Indian Chief is real tempting. But so is the Cal 14.

vstevens · « **Reply #21 on:** January 07, 2016, 08:19:27 AM »

I chose the Norge... Though last summer I bought a V7 stone. At that time, I was 'returning' to motorcycling after several years. The 013 stone was greatly discounted and the Norge wasn't. And I wasn't sure I could handle a heavier, more powerful bike. Today I'm confident that I can... But I do not want to go into debt for a second motorcycle... When availability of resources and a discounted or used Norge Come together... I'm on it.

Vagrant · « **Reply #22 on:** January 07, 2016, 10:46:38 AM »

stupid poll! anybody in their right mind would take the most expensive then sell it for a bike he really wanted to ride.
poll should be "who had the cash to buy a new Guzzi but didn't and why.
1. no dealers because you made their life miserable and profitless.
2. I have owned a bunch of Guzzi's and am tired of all the crappy BS problems that need to be worked out.

Stupid would be saying something is stupid, having the knowledge and ability to do better and then not doing so.

Your post then, leads anyone reading it to only two conclusions.

pikipiki · « **Reply #24 on:** January 07, 2016, 11:52:39 AM »

If I choose the least expensive model can I have an all expenses paid vacation for 2 to Italian lakes to make up for the difference?

The way I have adapted the Griso I should say the Norge, my back says the V7 but I want to ride a bike with floor boards before my ticket is punched so I choose the Touring 1400. Still thinking that I will be able to get away and tourer.

lazlokovacs · « **Reply #27 on:** January 07, 2016, 01:42:28 PM »

none of the above I'll keep my tonti thanks

(allright then, if you're really twistng my arm then chuck me a griso)

Xlratr · « **Reply #28 on:** January 07, 2016, 02:00:56 PM »

If the Flying Fortress is on the list (I'm amazed at the number of votes it's got!), I think the V9 should be too.
Yes, I'm a V9 fan.

Good catch. I have just waved my magic wand and made it so...
