[Tom]

    Thanks.

[Huzo]

Yes thank you.
I love the look of the red/white V85, it almost looks like mine…!
That secondary front fender on the V85 in conjunction with the beak, looked surprisingly un horrible.
Do they still have women in Europe, or were they all outside waiting in their cars ?
I think I want a Stelvio.

[Tom]

If the guys are smart, they drop them off at the Strada del 'Oro w/a credit card.

Yeah.
What happened to the good old days, when the female “sales assistant” held onto your wallet (among other things), while you climbed aboard (the bike that is… ) and stood back telling you how good you looked on it.
Then to seal the deal, slid onto the rear so you could…..
“See how the pillion seat works….” 

You might as well go straight to the sales desk, you’re going home with it….(and quite possibly the bike as well).

.....I love the look of the red/white V85.....

I wish they would have left the big "V85" off the sides of the tank.

[Frenchfrog]

 Now there's another  experience I have never had !!!!!! I never ever bought a new vehicle  and now I know what I have missed

Gotta say, Guzzi’s lineup is looking fantastic!

[chuck peterson]

Great video thanks!

Geez, Piaggio has me down pat…besides all the guzzi you can swallow…sport, touring, dual sport

there’s

  Aprillia w

A new 500cc twin that weighs a feather..

A 175cc scooter with race spec pedigree..

A 660cc dual sport, and a committed 660 rock basher..

Race spec super sports competing at the highest level in motogp…

  Vespa w all their models…(the Justin Bebber model I can leave behind) now has two versions of an electric, 2kw or 3kw

Piaggio Hi wheel scooters…Liberty, Beverly (BV in US) …these are the 16” wheel 50,125,250,400cc twist and go transmission step thru’s..I’ve an 07 bv250 near 30k miles, exquisite build quality

What a company! Piaggio that is..couldn’t have found a better mothership for Moto Guzzi

Glad to read in their PR piece that Piaggio is doing so well financially.  Almost 30 percent of the scooter market in both Europe and US.

I remember when Cycle World sponsored the IMS all over the country.  I used to attend the one in Atlanta every year.  Great way to spend a winters day or two.  How things have changed. 😞

Yeah, I attended two or three of those in Atlanta.  Last time I went it was out there by the Waverly Hotel and Cumberland Mall.  I think that before that it was downtown maybe in the World Congress Center??  I remember engaging a local BMW dealer from Cobb county who emphatically maintained the BMW corporate line that there was nothing wrong with BMW final drives.  All the many failure problems were caused by owners who improperly changed the oil.😒
