Here the longer version and better resolution, but... without audio!
P.S.
That eagle on the front lights... simply amazing. That alone provide a good reason to buy this bike! :)
At the beginning I was also a little bit puzzled by the 170mm of the suspension run. But... you need more only if your target is to drive fast in offroad. For that type of driving there are more suitable bikes on the market, IMO.
I drove my STelvio 480 km offroad with the ridicoluos suspension...

I have to declare here my appreciations for Guzzi: stop with colors for old men! This new ones are trendy and very original. No one other manufacturer would dare to propose that. New...
Euro 5?
This would be a great results, since for now motorcycle should be "only" Euro 4 compliant. Euro 5 constrains are an headache for every engineer.
