G'day all,

I posted this intro in another section, but perhaps not the right one.

Anyway I live in Brisbane Australia and have had an interest in (obsession with) Guzzis for many years (sparked by the 1980's Calis). Sadly though, I've never owned one.

I do take the opportunity as often as possible to 'test ride' them though.... Upload 2015 3 4 11 17 55

My current ride is a 2007 Suzuki GSX1400 (Brilliant Bike) which I can't justify selling as it's just too good, and wouldn't fetch enough $ to pay for a Guzzi anyway......

I'd love an old Cali and a new Cali and a Griso and ... well, being a little bit more practical as a bike for me and the "pillion in a million" I fancy a Breva 1200 ABS.

At the moment I can't afford to indulge myself with a Guzzi project , but am in the (slow) process of building a 'classic' styled Honda CX500 which will be badged "notaguzzi". I've even had the badges made already !

Cheers everyone!
 
Welcome Vlad. I ride a B11 down in Mexico, but it was a toss up between your ride and the Guzzi (at nearly twice the price at the time, '06), once I rode the Guzzi, I found the extra coin, despite the power differential.

You'll find good used ones not too expensive and all the problems sorted.

cheers

Robert
 
G'day Vlad.
I had a CX500 for years when I lived in Brisbane.
I had the tank rebadged - "Güllepumpe".
Google it.
Now waiting for my new V7 to arrive :)
