A wonderful motorcycle engine

I purchased this bike as a "backup" or second bike at the end of July 2004. I did a substantial amount of research before making a purchase decision - reliability and durability are extremely important to me, as I average about 20,000 miles a year in the saddle(in New England!). The more I read and the more owners that I talked to, the clearer it became to me that this marque is about low maintenance, reliability and long term durability. BMW's new bikes just didn't do anything for me in the style and comfort departments. SO - I bought this new '03 Guzzi EV Touring from my local dealer. The research paid off! What a GREAT bike! As I said earlier - this was to be a second bike; a backup. Well, it has pretty much become my primary ride. This bike has a very wide power band and handles like a sport bike in disguise. Lean angles possible on this bike(even with 40 litre bags attached) are NUTS for a cruiser style bike. EXCELLENT suspension with even better brakes! Beautiful, stainless spoked, TUBELESS wheels. It doesn't have the Cadillac ride of my '01 Electra Glide Classic, but it more than makes up for it in braking, handling, and all around performance. AND - the bike has TONS of personality! I've been riding for over 30 years now and I can honestly say that so far, this is one of the most satisfying bikes I've ever ridden. Maintenance is a breeze and so far the bike has been trouble free. This bike gives the impression of being built like a truck! Very high quality components include: dual Brembo four piston calipers on the front with floating 320 mm rotors; stainless braided brake lines; 280 mm rotor with Brembo caliper in the rear; linked braking system; tubeless spoked rims; 45 mm front forks with adjustable compression and rebound damping; shaft drive; Metzler tires... etc. And of course - that beautiful 90 degree V-twin! A WONDERFUL motorcycle engine - smooth, torquey, and powerful from 2000 RPM all the way up to its redline of 8000 RPM. About the only thing I can fault with this bike is the seat. I find that after about 200 miles or so, I start getting the dreaded sore tailbone and numb butt... but in the grand scheme of things this is a very minor criticism. I plan on either replacing my seat or having it re-padded and reshaped by a local shop this winter. (Also note that I am 6'2" and of large build) A great bike and one I plan on keeping for many years and many miles.
