From Cycle Torque, they seem to think it is a good thing. Be sure to check the 8v recall work has been done before taking one home.

I liked it. One of the best gearboxes I've ever used. :ylsuper:

All the ride reports I've seen are very positive. Most surprising to me is that the bike apparently handles dirt roads very well. I sure would not be buying one unless without being damn sure the recall work has been properly done, or the bike is from a batch that was right from the factory. What recall you ask? Check my post in General Guzzi Chat if you haven't already seen it.

I still think it should have a bigger fuel tank.....grumble.....moan......whinge...... :argue:

Fuel tank size is the only major criticism. A 32 litre tank would be excellent. The test ride I went on didn't include dirt roads but there were a few bumpy back roads.
