Would love to see a road tst shootout between 900cc Triumph Street Twin and 750 (or 850) Guzzi.

Maybe MG needs to buy a few more ads in cycle mags to get more test reviews.

heavier and less power than the previous Bonnie but more torque with a bias front and radial rear tires.

Less not more weight
It feels much smaller
Lots of torque at low rpm
Lovely exhaust sound
Very good fit and finish
Very smooth throttle response
We fired one up in NYC yesterday

It looks like a winner to me

Lighter + more torque + more efficient = fun.

The right up sounds great.
