I've owned a BMW K100 for years now and just this spring, saw a "deal" on a Moto Guzzi that I just couldn't pass up.  Bought the bike in March and had it road worthy by mid-April.  It's a 2011 V7 Racer that was an insurance writeoff (pictured below as it sat in the insurance recovery center yard):


This is what it looks like now:


It's a really cool bike and I'm very happy with the way it's turned out.

Compliments the BMW because they serve differnt purposes -- BMW for long distance touring, the Moto Guzzi for commuting.

Definitely works well with the RT and the Guzzi. I have a Naked K75, which is really a jack of all trades bike. I can do long distance touring, tear up the hills, and ride it to work or school. Its got luggage, but isn't too heavy.


I kinda want to get a sportster and make something like this:

You should be very happy.  It's very cool!

No, I am not cool.  Yes, it really is the journey.

Don't really have a place for two permanently. Only one would get ridden regularly.

I kept my K.  The wife's van doesn't really need to be in the garage.  I'm trying to reenact the battle of Stalingrad  :lol:
