Title: Well sorted Hydro or earlier EV
Post by: T4halo on May 29, 2019, 08:59:43 PM

Thinking about adding one of these cruisers. I understand a well sorted, all recalls completed, Hydro is a good bike but would you choose a 98-02 over the Hydro?  There are quite a few of each for sale for reasonable money.

 A properly sorted Hydro is a very nice motor , but there isn't anything wrong with an earlier solid lifter bike . Mt personal preference would start with the 2000 models , better computer and the open loop Weber Marelli injection .

I loved my hydro.  A Guzzi with a silent valve train is quite the novelty and they run so well!!

Very glad I choose a Hydro, but I suspect if I hadn't I'd be just as happy!
I reckon just look for the best deal closest to you and see how you feel about the bike and don't worry if it's a Hydro or not. You'll love it either way  :thumb:

My 04 is a Hydro... it's also my first and to date, only, Guzzi, but I love that bike.

As stated, once they had the bugs worked out, the Hydros are great machines.
