Thanks for that, Kev! 

After watching that, the bike is actually growing on me a little!
I must be old though as I still like polished alloy and gloss paint.
Black wheels, (even on cars) just remind me of dirty wheels covered in brake dust...

I reckon the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello may give the Honda a run for its money. It's water cooled (a first for MG), shaft drive (a huge plus), has all the electronic goodies (I'm a bit dubious here - the Italians don't have a great record in this area - perhaps the German's had some input) and a very attractive motorcycle (it's Italian after all).

If I could afford one I'd probably wait for an updated version rather than buy one from the first production run (I might think differently if it were Japanese).

Thanks for that, Mark! 

I saw a picture of this Guzzi a couple of weeks ago and at the time I commented to Sue what a nice looking bike it was and surprisingly Sue actually agreed...lol.

I've always had a soft spot for Guzzi's and V twins in particular so I could definitely see myself with one...well, that's assuming I was filthy rich and was in the market for an ST replacement...
