There is something delicious about the smaller Guzzi engines and transmissions. V35, V50, V65. The 350 can get a bit asthmatic on the open road, bit most of the time is wonderful. The 500 and 650 are almost the perfect combination of mass, feel sound, power and delivery for any highway. This is a nice job. Quirky, but nice. And the heart is still the same. The smiles come quickly on a bike like this. Enjoy it! (I imagine you already do...)
