hey all...

#1 Unread post by blaidd drwg »

I have no bike right now, having disposed of my disastrous Guzzi. What a peice of crap it was. Nothing but heartache and malfunctions, and 6+ month wait for parts. Never again will I buy a Guzzi. YMMV of course.

So I'm looking for a new bike, a v-twin for sure, probably a SV650 because the price is right, although I'm not completely in love with the looks of it, and I can't afford a Ducati.

See you out there someday...

What Guzzi did you have? I'm seriously considering a 2005 Nevada. What were the problems you had? Any information you can provide me would be much appreciated.

Thanks all.

Scout, I'll reply to your message personally. Anyone else who wants to know about my Guzzi experience can shoot me an e-mail. I'll not brand bash, but rather tell about my particular lemon and experiences with the dealer and getting parts, because I'm sure there are plenty of Breva /Guzzi owners out there with no problems.

Just go into Guzzi ownership "eyes wide open" and expecting the worse. Despite their claims to becoming a modern company, they're not quite there yet, IMO.
