Ogmios said:granted you do need a .... "unique outlook" to cope with Guzzis - but they are worth it for the grin factor.
With the old and best Guzzis it was a case of "bridge to engine room, can we think about accelerating, I would like to overtake a car in a mile or so"
as for the electrics, well, over 21 years I had no major problems, a couple of broken wires that had turned to green powder.
The wiring is a bit convaluted as so mny models are cocered by one loom. and there is loads of spare wire.
In the end I (and a friend) mad a complete new loom for my Mille GT and saved about 5 tons of wire.
