Funny they picked a beefy test rider, should have a good suspension  :boozing:
I was thinking the same thing.  It will need every hp it can get to haul that guy around!

2/3 of Guzzi riders look like that guy, that's why he's doing the testing.   The Roamer I have is said in OEM condition to put out 55HP at the crank, but they must be some BIG ass ponies.   It is a bit odd, Guzzi said 55HP, but dyno runs put down 53ish HP at the rear wheel, torque is something like 46, but it's super friging flat across the entire rev-range.  Anyway, it hauls my fat ass 240lb all over hill and dale easy peasy.   I think the new 850 are a little more high strung, thus the extra HP likely makes for a more lively ride :evil:.   I have a hankering for a new 85TT, we shall see.  Anyone want a super well running Bettel Map 1100 Breva??
