The dealer in Buffalo has one. I sat on it. What a tank!! Not for me. The Griso on the other hand had my name on it.

There's one in Cincinnati I got to check out. I see it as a HD Street Glide/Honda F6B for the Guzzi crowd. Not my cuppa but the carbon is real and tastefully done.

A 'test ride' on one of these things is generally useless.  If you ride this thing around three city blocks at 25 MPH you'll hate it with a passion.  Get it in some twisties and run the snot out of it, you'll see what all the fuss was intended to be about.

I am curious if the turn signals work and whether the speedo is only in metric?

Funny you should ask.  Brookside just left my place. They drove all the way from Tulsa to my place (150 miles).  Fixed the software glitch and performed my first service.  All on the house.  Bike is perfect, everything is sorted and all is well with the world again.  That's customer service at its best and it wasn't even the dealers fault.  I knew it'd be sorted, just had to come up with a time for all schedules to mesh.

I'd sure like to see the MGX-21 with some glossy paint.
