Nicely styled......except for the fuel tank! What the....

Has Moto Guzzi now also fallen prey to the Chinese ?

No, its owned by Aprilia and continues to lead the way with many inventive designs (but you are right, some are a bit odd).

Having owned two Cali's I guess I'm well qualified to comment. Personally I find

the Er6 headlamp more disturbing than the tank ... which actually looks ok in shots

two and four, making me think that the pinstriping is the problem. The

"streetfighter" style job in shot four resembles a Kawasaki Eliminator on steroids.

Oh cum on! I have seen every Guzzi model that has landed in Oz over the last 40+ years and none have had such a styling faux pas as this one does.

Let's corner the homosexual bikeriding market?

Looks a lot like the R1200 cruisers that BMW discontinued 6 or 7 years ago (after a short run of about 5 years).

I don't see a problem.

I'll second that. i like the cut outs

and suddenly the bumps are looking better ......

Does make me wonder a bit if the fuel gets heated

Closet gay people prefer Harley Davidson while openly gay people like Vespa's and Ducati's....so says my daughters gay friend that shares her unit. He's a twink and thinks Vespa's are fab. And I don't give a flying fig what anyone sexual preference is, just for the record.

All bike's suffer from this to some degree.

I don't see a problem.

nor do i

the bike looks fine for a cruiser IMO ,at least its not another harley replica and

theyre not afraid to take a risk on marketing something a bit new and different

Does make me wonder a bit if the fuel gets heated

I think the fuel would heat up more while parked in the sun?

If I was going to get a cruiser (which I'm not) I'd get the new Goldwing F6B. Probably not to everyone's tastes but I think it looks great (for a cruiser).

I would guess it comes down to how hot does that engine get?

I do not see many days with the sun much over 32-35c

Also heat rises so when I first saw the pic it looked like a cave above the heat source

But MG has been around a long time I am sure they have it all sorted

prefer this too than harleys or guzziz. i really hate to see the engine shaking or bikes handling like a tractor such as a harley or guzzi.

this is modern.

But, i liked the Victory cruisers and tourers at the bike show.

I prefer the Honda too but it looks better in white or cherry red.

Guzzis are one of the best handling bikes and have a really nice strong engine. Ask anyone who`s owned a Le Mans. I just hope they`ve made the clutch manageable.

Sure but do their engines shake a lot?

And i m sure they cant hold the road as much as a sport bike right?

Maybe motoguzzi stone.

Indeed.

Or you could choose to ride a Honda that has all the character and soul of a sewing machine.

Guzzis like the Cafe Racer and Griso aren`t marketed as sports bikes, they`re in the naked street bike class, but would surprise you with their handling and speed, and in the right hands can give a lot of sportsbike riders a shock. The engines don`t shake either, but what you get when you blip the throttle at standstill is a bit of rotational torque movement of the bike because of the engine configuration. Guzzi used to build some fantastic racing bikes including a V8

Probably best not to confuse poorly made bikes with dodgy clutches as having 'character and soul', it's normally down to poor engineering.

Why argue about style? That said...

I think the Guzzi looks great - for a cruiser; The Honda F6B gets good reviews but the looks... ew. Looks like a scooter for the obese?! Once I accidentally insulted a Harley rider with a similar looking bike - I didn't really look that closely, asked him what kind of scooter that was... embarrassing on all sides...

The bike on the left isn't a Harley is it? It looks more like a metric cruiser......oh sh1t! I ride a metric cruiser!!!
