Italians trying to do American. What could possibly go wrong...
"Down the alley, the Turdwagon flew..."
It isn't the first time.....OK, actually, that Italians doing Japanese doing American.
I like that, wish I could think of some examples of Americans trying to do Italian - thick crust pizza? Is carbon fiber the new chrome? Does marketing work? It will be interesting to see the magazine "reviews" and the sales numbers (if anyone knows how to find the numbers). Before I bought my V7II I put together a matrix of all the things I needed or wanted in a motorcycle and all the things I didn't want (my perfect motorcycle matrix) and then I started filling out the matrix with different bike specifications. I had never even seen a Moto Guzzi but I knew of the brand from my youth. The V7II came closest to fitting my perfect bike concept, not based on any advertising or magazine rider reviews, just based on "facts". Then I ordered a V7II without ever having seen one in person or ever having ridden one. Of course this left out qualities like sound and soul so I could have been disappointed when I picked up the bike, but I wasn't.
I'm 46 and married. Chasing work, and there's a chance that there may be a matching set of these in our garage
Perhaps Piaggio is referencing the P108B, not the B-17. Google Piaggio P108 for additional info.
And if I were a lady and you pulled up in one of those, I'd know you were compensating for deficiencies elsewhere.
One thing I've noticed about guzzis, at least the standards, is that they're not judged in the same way that most other brands are. Power Rangers on sport bikes will always hate on Pirates on Harleys and vice-versa, Triumph has the hipster stigma and BMW riders are a breed onto their own.]Hey, thanks!
