I can attest, for old gimpy legs, this low seat, 400lb, 50mpg, 48 horse GUZZI, can go a long way....rebuild the seat for comfort, shocks to suit and it's closer to a T3 than it has a right to...biggest downside is the peanut tank, but it's great for shorter trips, which is what I'm doing these days. anyone a little iffy at pushing a big block around might consider this

What kind of range can you get on a tank? I was thinking of a Breva but that Nevada is really nice!

Not bad at all. Most of my street riding is just to the post office. A 10 mile round trip with the occasional scenic ride home around the lake. One of my street bikes will be picked up July 7 I'll see if you still have it then.

Thanks.

I sold one here in D'land for a friend who moved back to the States. I rode it a bit. Nice bike but cramped for me. I'm 6ft.

I would have bought it but it was just to small for me.

Not my bike....I'm 5' 10", with 32 inseam...I'm looking to add an inch or two in the seat to open my knees...yes, it is a small puppy, but damn great for weak, healthcare challenged bodies like mine...I figure my next step down would be a burgman 650...good, but give me the guzzi

I've used a nevada to step down from three week, 200-600 mile days to 100 mile trips for coffee...new v7s would do the same
