What's not to love about this thing? It's an instant collectible in my book and has all the bells and whistles that I've been crying for since forever.

Saw a new colour scheme for the V85 today on Instagram... grey, looks beautiful. it'd be my first choice over the MGX, but I have to say Guzzi's "old fart" bikes... pretty much all their modern 1400s... appeal to me more than any other manufacturer's bikes in the same class.
Old enough to say I've done it, young enough to do it again.

My 1400 tourer is just tripping 6000 miles and I can just now feel it loosening up a bit. I have also noticed a different sound in the exhaust, a little throatier and louder. After 10k miles I think I'll have all the sound I want.
I also really like the looks of the Mgx, with that said I must add a negative. For the life of me I can't figure out how the fathers of MG can produce this bike with such a lack of a Touring personality such as a decent wind protection system and luggage system. Not knocking this bike as I think it's beautiful:)

They have the California 1400 Touring, for that...

What do you guys think about comparing the California Touring 1400 vs. the Honda Goldwing 1800?   Anyone ridden both and care to share impressions?

The MGX-21 is a great looking bike Luap...glad you are enjoying it as much as it sounds!
