I like the styling.  I like the high bags.  Even though it is a bike with fairings you can still see quite a lot of good stuff (frame & engine).  





i take back everything, wow.. they did a NICE job.

They quote "550lb wet."

I'm curious what their working definition of "wet" is.

IMO they need better industrial design in the rear of the bike. I like the high bags, but the butt and tail light are too late nineties alien smooth organic. catch my drift? anyways, great looking other than that IMHO, and what a great sounding bike. They also keep showing a naked, think they'll run with it?

Wet will most likely be ready to ride but no fuel. I'm quite impressed with the engineering and have little doubt it'll be the top ST bike around.  I do have some reservations regarding its success from a business perspective.

I love the sound of that engine on the dyno.

I saw it and sat on it at the Laguna GP race this past weekend. I was impressed. Looks very cool and felt relatively light. Seemed like it would be comfortable, although that's hard to tell by just sitting on it.

It actually feels narrow when you sit on it...and it's lighter than any Guzzi I've ridden. I can't wait to test ride one.
