Welcome to the forum. I have to confess that I've always loved Moto Guzzis, starting with the wonderful Falcone, Le Mans, V7, etc but I've have a been a bit of a coward as regards reliability of Italian bikes in my most active motorcycling years, the 70's and 80's.
I did get a sort of pastiche of a Guzzi in the shape of a Honda CX500, transverse V-twin, but that turned out to be a load of rubbish. As reliable as a politicians promise.
Gradually I weaned myself off Guzzis as I don't much like the styling of the modern ones, so I thought that was that. Guess what, the bastards have now released a new V7 classic with modern technology but the styling from my days. A neighbour over here has one. The more I look at it the more I want one and I wish he would just go away...
