Thinking of getting a Guzzi v65sp, is it a comfortable bike?

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a Moto Guzzi v65sp. It has original seat and has had the fairing lowers removed (it has however got a 750 engine!). What I wanted to ask is, is this motorcycle comfortable. I'm not particularly tall 5'8" or so, so maybe I fit it better than some, but it seems a bit cramped compared with the bigger Guzzis and the seat looks like it forces you into a single position and maybe isn't very comfortable. I'm also wondering if the screen keeps wind blast away from your hands.
Thanks for any info

Bad Chad let me ride his V65SP a bit, and I thought at the time it was comfortable enough to be a serious touring bike. I'm also 5'8".. properly sized for a Guzzi.. :smiley:
The SP fairing is wonderful.
bad Chad:
The fairing will not keep the wind off your hands.

When i had mine I found it fine for all day rides.
bad Chad:
It does feel like a bike from 1984, when compared to small block from the Breva on up through the new v7. If you ride it and then get on a new v7/v9 you will understand what I mean.
It's a great middle weight touring bike, looks kick ass too. If thats what your looking for get it! If it's in great shape, it can and will do everything you want it to do.
