Default It only gets worse

If the prices are this bad while they're trying to entice you to buy, just imagine how bad they'll price gouge you on needed parts and service after the sale.
I wouldn't touch one of these with a 37-1/2 foot pole.

If I lived in italy. I'd know Moto guzzi in and out.

Because pf parts availability.

But.

I live in Texas.
Case closed.

Good luck with the conundrum. Politics aside.
I can never afford new anyways.

the new 850 is tempting... they succeeded where Mo.Co. failed... in keeping their philosophy about their engine... and evolve to euro5 nonotheless

we have also Ducati, Aprilia, Benelli, MV Agusta etc etc... i choose an exotic vintage bike though (US products are exotic from my perspective)...
