[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1386965, member: 29320"] I know a few Guzzi owners and for the most part they speak highly of them. Ease of maintenance and pretty reliable have been their opinions but I must say these are guys well versed on doing their own repairs and one has a pretty long resume of road racing and owned a small bike shop for many years so I feel they're slightly above average owners. Downfall, at least in my opinion, of Moto Guzzi is the pretty limited dealer network at least in my own area. Oddly enough the one dealer we have is only walking distance from my house! Europa Machina in Lewisberry, PA. They're mostly a Porsche restoration shop that took on the brand after the owner's wife bought an old Guzzi at a sale and they wanted to restore it. Finding no other dealers nearby they became one just to get the inside line on parts.They do pretty well with them but it's certainly not their main income source. The newer Triumph line is nice but again dealerships are hit and miss for experience and the service they provide. Have a good friend on a Kawasaki Vulcan that I ride with fairly often. I think it's a 1700 around 2006 or 2007 but not sure of exact year. Nice bike. He keeps up well enough and it has nice luggage capacity. Been rock solid for him these past couple seasons and he bought it used with some miles on it.Not really my sort of bike but I must admit it seems to do well. [/QUOTE]
