I think the words you are looking for are soul, character, personality, etc. Other bikes are just that, bikes, mechanical devices to transport you. The Guzzi is something that becomes part of you. I have never once regretted getting my Silky. So many smiles and amazing memories.there's just something about the Guzzi that I can't shake.
I don't want a bike to become a "hassle".
Go with your gut, it will not steer you wrong.Wow thank you Paul that was really helpful! I did get to ride both the Street twin and the V7 a few weeks ago. I enjoyed them both so much that it’s hard for me to choose.
I see you are in Toronto. Go see George at Corsa Meccanica, tell him you are serious about a V7iii, and he will give you a bike for the afternoon. He did that for me (twice actually) when i was looking at a V7ii. I rode up to Caledon to find some twisty roads. I bought the bike...Yeah its unfortunate, however I spoke to another dealer and maybe I could get a test on the Guzzi. Going to try a dealer thats further away for the triumph and see if they have any demos.
I currently own a Rebel 500 but it is too small for me. Not CC's wise, but actual space. I am content with the power it has, but its just too crammed and the 11L gas tank is too small for me.
I have owned 2 bikes before, but have riden R6's, CBR600rr, cb500f, GS500, S40'S, and some adventure style bikes.
It does not take much time, nor special tools. Watch the GTM videos, do a bit of googling and you can do it all yourself. That way you get to know your ride better, and save a lot of money. And you will have fun at the same time.If it helps any, I would LIKE to do my own maintenance, but realistically, I don't know how much time I would be able to have for that. I will be doing my own mods (within reason), however. Bottom line: I want a bike that will make me smile and that I don't have to worry much about anything except riding.
My 2017 V7 III Anniversario has 7500 KM on it and has needed nothing at all. And it is not boring at all.It’s also a little boring.
