Ken you can see Trout's current bikes in his signature line.
2013 Griso SE 12V, 2013 Victory Cross Country Tour, 2001 Guzzi Jackal 1100, 89 Guzzi Mille GT 1000
As for the paint quality I have had 3 Guzzis, 2007 Norge, 2014 1400 Tour and currently a 2012 Norge. I would only put their pain on PAR, not below. I sold and worked on Hondas for 20 years and I saw good and bad paint. Probably the worst was a 1978 black CB750K model. That was before the advent of microfibre cloth and you would scratch them on the showroom with a terrycloth towel and polish. My Guzzi paint never has given me a problem but then I am not very picky. I really wish my Norge was white instead of black as I really like the white, I keep wondering if I should repaint it next winter but that is some cash and I would have to decide on a color.
