112mph Roamer
« 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.

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.
