I just stumbled on this... Marvel; guzzioverland.co.uk/

Amazing. Choice of bike is interesting. Part of the long arguement in carb vs EFI. Is it better to have a device that is more likely to break but that you can fix yourself (carb, points, etc), or to have a reliable device that requires dealer service when it does go wrong (EFI)?

I can see the merits to both.
 
With all that extra crap built on to it why not just take a car? I can't see the point in deleting all the benefits of a bike e.g. lightness and nimbleness.
 
Love it!

Someday... but that requires one heck of a case of wanderlust.

I ran into (figuratively) a guy from Germany in Pataya Thailand. He had ridden solo from Germany to Thailand on a BMW. Solo. I dunno if I could do that either.

Click to expand...
If you could point me to the local Guzzi dealer equipped to deal with EFI in Khazakstan or Mongolia, I might tend to agree, but even in Mongolia they understand carbs. Probably also true in South America.
Their major problems have been mechanical though.
 
By the look of it ,it would take a couple of days work just to get to the carbs on that thing! :lol:

Oh, and by the way hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and wishing you a happy New Year!
