Title: 112mph Roamer
Post by: bad Chad on September 05, 2020, 04:26:24 PM
Had the Roamer to 112mph indicated today (on a closed circuit track) it still had a bit more to give but I ran out of straight and had to back off.   I could tell there wasn’t a whole lot left, but it’s nice to know the young roadster will happily haul my lard ass past the ton.   My Guzzi management computer app claims I only hit 104mph but surly it’s being stingy!  Smooth as a virgins breast.

Overall it appears that most Guzzi models are secure handlers at high speeds. Had my T-3 well over the ton with no issues what so ever and my Norge with bags and trunk at 140 indicated on a private runway, rock solid.

Disks slip too, and when they do you’ll dam well know it!

that's the same as 150 Harley Davidson miles per hour any day of the week!

Got the time slips to prove the stripped down 84 Cali I had ran 117 mph....But I believe the OP's bike ran about 112...

You must have been laying flat on the tank to achieve that with as big as you are.

I was tucked down, generally always am when exceeding the ton.
