If Moto guzzi comes out with a V85 Eldorado I would be very tempted. 

I don't need or want a 1400 cc Moto Guzzi.

Me, too

I don't NEED any motorcycle and I WANT them all!

Just looking at photos of the Victorys and my knowledge of the 1400, I would say the Guzzis is more a rider's bike given the extreme forward controls on the Vics.

Just my 2 cents

You got that wrong.  Bikes with forward controls are for those who know how to ride.   :evil:  It does take more skill and confidence to go through the curves fast when you have forward controls.

Here is my Mean Streak with Jardine Forward Controls installed.  The Mean Streak runs sport bikes wheels/tires, USD forks, and good brakes.  I shocked a few people on this bike.  LOL!

What does that have anything to do with being "built for a rider"?

Oh, that must be why all the top MotoGP, Superbike, Supercross, motocross, and enduro riders use highway pegs!  :rolleyes:

You both realize that was poor logic.

He said it takes more skill to ride em, which translates into it's harder.

Why would anyone build a race or endurance bike etc. and design it to be HARDER to ride?!?

So your posts basically support his supposition.
