I know this is ...ahem... controversial but get the 8V like the Hamlin.  Yes the 4V is a great machine but the 8V will put your arms out of their sockets.  Power corrupts -- don't fight it.  :evil:

Just remember guys, all Guzzi’s are weak compared to the quick stuff.
The 8V will not pull harder until you’re risking your licence....
Have fun..! :popcorn:

You are 100% correct, and I don't miss my bikes that pulled a LOT harder at all.  The 8V 1200 has enough and as I've stated out, unless it's a drag race the Norge in the right hands can lay many so called superior bikes to waste in the curvy bits where it's the most fun anyway.  This is true, though, for a lot of motorcycles.  It's almost always the pilot.  I will add that Hamlin and his boys can brake deeper and faster into a corner that I'll ever be able to, and the tail lights just fade away and away and away............... ................

More than one idiot like me (but not me) have seen their ambition overcome their talent with less than stellar results when trying to keep pace.

Anyway, I know that bike for sale and if I had to replace mine tomorrow I'd not hesitate one bit to get it.
