I dunno, seems to be priced pretty reasonable. The dash is working.

How bad are they?

Do I like it compared to my last bike two bikes?. A mint 2009 1100 Monster with pipes, and factory performance ecu.. Mint 2 gen V2 Aprilia that would clobber just about any Griso in Performance. In fact either one would.. The lowly Breva 1100 still is my favorite in a understated way. Did the full service, Yesterday, and I enjoy working on this one because it responds to little upgrades, and is very comfortable for long rides (over 300 miles without stopping for gas.)It will cruise all day at 100 mph if you feel like it..

I recently (last July)  sold my lovely 1200 Sport.  Had I not gotten older and lost some lower body strength, I'd still be riding this bike.  I am in total agreement about the CARC B11 being a distance bike.  I only ran the Sport at over 100mph in WY for maybe 5 minutes, and it was evident that this old gal would run like this for mile on end.  The CARC-based 12S was one of my favorite all time bikes.

Hey I bought that bike! got a great deal and met a great guy in the process. It's my first Guzzi since 1986 when I had to regretfully sell my 850T to buy a turret lathe for my business. Any ways I have a BMW r1200r also and it's interesting to compare the 2. Although the layout is quite similar they couldn't be more different, the Guzzi certainly has more character with the sound and feel of the engine, the BMW will smoke it in performance as it weighs 100 lbs less and has 30 more HP. All in all I'm stoked to be back on a MG and hope to enjoy many years with it.
