General Discussion / Re: Is there a more modern midsize Guzzi styled like V700/Ambo/Eldo?
« Last post by rocker59 on Today at 09:12:17 AM »The Super Meteor is less aesthetically attractive IMO, but (with bags and a screen) it's sort of in the right vein, plus it has a much more capable engine than the Classic.
I've written off Californias as too big and unwieldy.
Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, or Shotgun 650 are available now. Who knows when, or if we'll see the Classic 650.
The Super Meteor and Shotgun weigh 530 lbs. Not much of a weight savings from a California Jackal, which weighs 541 lbs.
The upcoming Classic 650 will be on the same platform, so expect the same 530 lbs +/- weight.
Though it's a little lighter, a vintage 750 Ambassador will weigh around 500 lbs.
Personally, I'd go with a Super Meteor and admire vintage Guzzi loop frame bikes from a distance.
If the 500 lbs + weight is an issue, do as Kev M suggested and consider a Moto Guzzi V9. Roamer, Bobber, whichever tickles your fancy. At 440 Lbs +/-, they're nearly 100 lbs lighter than the 650 Enfields.
