Just got it firing!
Hello all! I'm new to this obsession of the 'Guzzi and am slowly on my way to owning one. Thus please forgive my ignorance but why is it that the motors in the V7 and V9 produce the relatively low numbers in power that they do? Also why is that one typically has to spend big bucks just get out a few extra ponies and torque? Im just curious! Honestly, I've gotten old enough now that Im happy with the idea that there is enough power to haul my medium to large frame and on occasion plus one around town or on lazy day trips. Is this a characteristic of the engine configuration and how the motors themselves are made? Also, do they have the potential and or the ease of longevity on their side like what I've heard tell of the Beemer boxers? Or is that really just a myth? What would one say really is the strong suit that these motors have and or are intended for besides the character?
All that said, I am pinning away at the thought of getting to know my very own Guzzi! Thank you for insights and feedback! I look forward to learning from you all! Safe riding! Cheers!
