What do you guys think of this bike? I've always liked the crazier or stylized looking bikes and was pretty blown away by the motoguzzi. Reading all the reviews it seems like an excellent bike. Guaranteed to turn heads. It's now on my shortlist and the price is not to bad. About 2300 more then the Stryker in Canada. Gonna test read a the Stryker and a bunch of other Yamaha's on Wednesday, but this motoguzzi has peaked my interest. Not as raked out as the Stryker by any means and a different look...

That sure is a strange way to mount a V-Twin...

It seems like the heads would be warm on the legs with engine turned 90 degrees.

Like many bikes you sit on the bike vs in the bike which is what I liked about the Stryker and the Raider. Only way to know is to test ride them all.

I don't like it at all. Nothing like the stryker to
me.

Motoguzzi has always mounted there engines this way on their bigger bikes. Better cooling to both cylinders.

I can see potential for a fun ride, love the true duals and the rear fender

It's not supposed to look like the Stryker. Just something that's different. All the reviews say how great it handles compared to other power cruisers and thought you guys would be interested as I doubt many have seen this bike before. I think it looks cooler then the Diavel and vmax, and vrod.

 

[strykenshane]

I do too and Moto Guzzi just sounds cool rolling off the tongue

It does have some good specs. I like the gas tank size and 6 speed transmission too.

..probably a depreciation nightmare.

I'm just old enough that I like it. Company has been going since 1921. Got a lot of great features and Price is not that bad.

I think it's a sweet looking bike. It's a little different. :thumb:

But agree...probably a depreciation nightmare. :frown:

I got to agree. It's ok to be different. That second to last bike is not bad either.

Interesting specs, like the looks but seat height, over all height and 100 lbs more than the Stryker, not for me.

I like it...love the dual exhaust

To me the specs and looks are more like the Triumph Thunderbird and maybe the Thunderbird Storm. The Storm is a tough bike to compete with though.
