Never implied that. Basically my point was: How much power(horsepower, that is) does one really need, especially in a "touring-type" motorcycle???



Excellent point there Cross-Thread .

In fact, at the end of the article Peter Egan said (well, strongly implied) that if Moto Guzzi had a better dealer network the California Vintage would have been his first choice.

Yep! Gotta agree wit' cha there, Mr. "Book Reader"!!!

There sure IS somethin' about those Guzzis that endears 'em to us "slighty older folk" who often seem to appreciate the "finer points" of motorcycling, such as compactness and lighter weight, which contribute to the handling aspects of the machines when the road ahead starts makin' those little curly-que patterns...and more than just brute horsepower sometimes, huh?!

(yep...I think you and I, AND Mr.Egan are of about the same age here, aren't we?!)

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)
