Hey Steve,
Like I said, I know why the comparison was made, I just wanted to point out the price of that Guzzi to put things in perspective. Didn't mean it as a slight against you personally, and I apologize if I came across that way.
There's quite a few of us that are interested in this rumored big twin from Triumph. It could be a better option for those of us who don't want to drop a few grand on engine upgrades to get that 85+ hp and more torque we seek, and also don't want all that weight that comes from a Rocket 3.
Looking forward to your long distance trip report on that Guzzi. Got anything planned for that first trip?
