Here in Norway, a Nevada cost about half to 2/3 that of a V7 Classic from 2008-2011 or so.
My brother, who have owned - and own - several Guzzis, had an 1100 fuel injected EV, and my V9 Roamer would have killed the bigger bike in any kind of roll-on competition. The 1100 had a huge valley in the torque that began around 4000 rpm that it could not drag itself out of when loaded. Going up an 8% incline in top gear, starting out at 50 mph, the 1100 gently moved away from my Honda NT650V Deauville until about 65 mph, then they ran even until about 70 mph. At this stage, the Guzzi just about stopped accelerating, while the little - and just as heavy - Honda ever so gingerly gained a little speed and began crawling back to the rear wheel of the bigger Guzzi. Neither would get up to an indicated 75 mph. The V9 just pulls with vigor up the same hill in top gear, no sign of a drop of torque anywhere. My son's V7 Classic from 2009 would also have easily beaten the 1100 EV. I reckon a more open exhaust system could have restored the missing midrange in the 1100.
