Always better if you lift stuff from the facotry site. Won't be cheap probally around 24K by the time its on the road.

!@#$ web bike world are good at stuffing up facts. The Artic circle ride was untaken by Giuseppe Guzzi who was the head engineer borther at the time (Carlo) at the time on a 500 horizontal single chain drive. To refine as they said rear suspension around 1928 which susquently appeared on thier first GT model which was called the GT oddly enough European road were pretty average at the time. Slowly worked its way into the racing department then through the entire model range.

On sale in Italy this month Australia will probally be about six weeks behind (as long as it take to ship some here) We always seem to get Guzzi's pretty quick compared to everyone else outside Europe. I was looking for something else to dredge up from the past BTW.

I'd rater have a Griso. Now tose things look tough.

There is a demo in Perth I rode it a while ago I think its at Thunderbikes ATM. Much better in the metal than in the pics. The engine has been pretty heavily strangled to eek past current emissions would be intresting to ride one thats been opened up. Oh and it handles far better than it looks like it should there are sports bikes around that don't handle as well as the Griso that was the one aspect that really struck me about it. If I had seven bikes in the garage and money was not a prblem I'd probally get one for around town. The wind protection sucks a bit for the kind of riding we do in WA.
