    I test rode a 2014 non-touring model last year. So very nice. Depending where you live, some of the 2014 naked models are nearly dropping into the 4-digit realm. Especially if it's a return or otherwise has a few miles on it.

          I love Guzzis....almost bought a Norge when I found the FJR...too good a deal for the Yamaha......
          Norge was very sexy red, low miles, if it wasnt a hundred mile drive, I probably would have bought it instead of the Yammy...

            Huh. It honestly looks like any other cruiser model out there. Kawasaki Vulcan? http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/cro...-12_600x0w.jpg

              If you saw them parked beside each other, you can tell they're not in the same league.

                Ben's original description of this new Guzzi is spot-on ... this motorcycle is stunning!









                The California looks like a classic work of art compared to the Vulcan ...

                No contest ...

                    That's a sweet machine. Another I like a lot are the Triumph Thunderbird 1600cc inline twin cruisers. The sideways v twin is so classic though.
                    1990 Ninja ZX-10. It's the Silver Surfer. HI-YA!!

                    2006 Yamaha XT-225. Yep, I take it on the interstate. It's Blue Butt.

                    1982 Toyota 4x4. 22R Cammed, 38/38, 2" pipe, 20R head with OS valves, performance grind and other fun stuff. It's Blue RASPberry.

                    1969 Ford F-250 Camper Special resto project. 390 RV cam, Demon carb, Sanderson headers, 2 and a quarter pipes with Magnaflow mufflers. It's Blue Jay.

                      I rode a hydro head 1100 California on Sunday. Love it! I have a derelict in my garage. Time to get busy and move the XS1100 to light duty.

                        This is the MG I have my eye on. Can be found if one is patient for 4-5K with lowish miles.

                          It doesn't make me want to get rid of the XS1100, but it will run circles around it.

                            If I got one I would sell the SG and get a Standard. Then would have the classic Japanese and the classic Italian.
