OR....maybe....go to the "Other Bikes" forum here, and take a look at the picture of the Moto Guzzi Norge that tmspeedy posted in the "Ducati Multistada/Hypermotard" thread.

Now THAT BIKE moves me, guys!

Just as Thanassis has pointed out here, one CAN tour on a BA/Speedy, but only at about a 75mph average.

I've taken my BA on a few 1000 mile rides, loaded with gear(the backrest/bag is a must), and in front of me is my big Memphis Shades "Fats" windshield, but it "pushes" so much air out there up in front while I'm on the Interstates that my baby won't go any faster than about 85 with the throtle "pegged".

Cheers,
Dwight
(one o' these days, I'm tellin' ya, it's goin' to be a big bore for the "Big Bore" here)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
