Well, maybe and maybe not. That feel, sound and looks may get old for you after a while.
I love my bike. But, it doesn't look great, I really don't like how it sounds, and it could feel a whole lot smoother.
I bought it without ever having touched it or ever having ridden a Guzzi. So that connection has come through a lot of blood, sweat and pain to get it where it is now. I can remember the first one hour trip I took on it. I was cursing it horribly cause the seat was like a thinly padded 2x4. The little bikini windshield caused more turbulence than it was worth. Finally got better with a new seat and taking of the screen. I didn't actually 'love' it until I put the LMII fairing on it. That made me want more and I put the SPIII fairing on it.
At the same time, it is an appliance. It gets me to work and back. Takes me on errands. I reward it with some Sunday or vacation rides. It repays me by having an awful vibration in the bars when under load (up hill) at around 65mph (throttles are balanced to be smooth at around 80mph). Or by making my head thrummm after hours of listening to the exhaust (yes, even with ear plugs).
If I wanted to take a cross country trip I'd rather have a nice comfortable appliance than a rip snorting beast that made me sore after a few hours. I'll keep working on mine to make it more like an appliance.
