Rangieman, I'm sorry I hadn't heard that your Dad had passed away (I assume that's why you have been cleaning up recently).
A Moto Guzzi would have been my choice had I not been left a number of bikes by my late son.

oh,,
and did I mention the rear of the bike actually stays CLEAN????
My GS850G was a shaftie. My son's GS110G was a shaftie.
I'd have another - the maintenance is so much simpler.
I nearly bought a Suzy VX800 a few years back (I ended up buying the CBR1000F) - See http://www.motorbyte.com/mmm/pages/r.../vx8004_97.htm
Cheaper and cleaner im keen , I spose the supposed reliability issue with Guzzie,s is like landrover,s and im thick skinned , So im ready for the ragging to follow ;)Quote:

congratulations on picking the correct make to own the only unreliable part of a guzzi is the electrics put electronic ignitian and clean up all the electrics and it will keep on keepin' on, any parts or advice you need contact tom newell in brissie good and reliable. stay aware from duc's more unreliable tempermental and hidiously exspense to repair. I am on my third guzzi and wouldn't have anything else (maybe a MV). and you wont be alone their are a lot of landie owners who own itialian bikes, their may be something in that i'm not sure
Kev

Gary Coleman from Newcastle area raced a 350 (not a TSS) on the tar. He has since spent many years as pit crew for Mick Doohan and Valentino Rossi. I'm pretty sure he was also in Wayne Gardiner's crew as well.
I remember he got a heap of parts from the factory after it closed.
