I wanted a cruiser this time out, but was initially certain it would be the Touring. When I checked them out in the showroom, however, the Touring just seemed too wide with those cases, and I liked the clean lines of the Custom (and the superior rear shocks), so that's what I went with. My deal included about $1000 worth of free accessories, so I ended up with a bike equipped as a Touring, minus the bags and the light bar, which works well for me.

So, at this point, 23.4% say Griso 1200.

Interesting results for a bike that was among the slowest selling Guzzis over the past couple years.

In my area the V7 sells best (not racer), Stelvio and Griso tie, then Cali and Norge. There are several Griso around our Sunday bike gathering (one with cherry bomb mufflers- ick)

I voted Griso .. and bought a V7 II Stone. The Stone was listed at 17,700 in the local currency and they offered it for 16,000 (about 9000 USD currently) once I showed interest . The Griso on the other hand was listed at 28-something ;)

Surely, I'd love to have both at some point.

Free? I'd either get the Racer, then get rid of the bling, paint the tank, add the cafe seat (it's waterproof), rear rack & centre stand, & change out the suspension. Or, (the preferred option) get the most expensive & sell it to put the proceeds towards a Magni Sfida.

I chose Stelvio.  It'd be rollerized, right?

I like the ADV aesthetic even though I (like 99.3% of all ADV riders) would never see gravel.  Plenty of power, plenty of storage & accessories, and unique without having to get the BMW tattoo behind your left ear.

I like the Audace.  I know that carbon on a Cruiser is like a fat lady ordering 3 double whoppers and a diet coke but it's still cool and different.

Interesting that the choices didn't run according to how much the bikes cost, the MGX-21 is the most expensive?

The most popular models being sold were the most wanted?

Several things could be inferred.

I too await a new Lemans but by what I'm seeing going on with Piaggio I doubt it . I think they are going to unsport or "neuter " the racing/high performance aspect of Guzzi and leaving that for Aprilia. But a retro big bore Lemans would easily empty my wallet.

How do I see the current tally? The only option appears to be "Submit Vote".

 Try as I might , don't see anyway that Rocker could have done what you are suggesting , and we have access to the same magic wand . As for starting the other poll , how does that affect your poll ?

Interesting numbers. If one hasn't been done, it would be interesting to see a related poll on what people currently own.

Interesting that all the 8v 1200 bikes seem to be favored by a wide margin.  This in spite of the rollarization issues.  I admire the lines of the Griso and Stelvio, but prefer the Norge.  Given a choice, I'm not sure which I'd actually buy.... guess it would come down to a test ride and the better price of the three.

I love all my Guzzi's and I've ridden most of their line with the exception of the new MGX21 and I have to say of all the bikes I've ever owned or ridden ( or test ridden) I've never ridden a bike I think checks more boxes than my Stelvio. after 5 years I still get up in the morning excited to ride it to work.

Great handling, great power, super comfortable. I've never had a bike that did so many things so well.

After I park it to walk into work, I'll still turn around to look at it a minimum of 3 times before getting in.

Every day that goes by, I love it that much more. I can't imagine not having it.
