Guest Nogbad Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 And? Should I sell shares and buy Guzzis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeve Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 1998-2005 Moto Guzzi V11 Sports are highlighted in Motocyclist magazine's 'Smart Money' Column this month. 89673[/snapback] I don't even bother flipping thru Motorcyclist when passing the newsstand at the grocery store; it's worse than the worst of the Brit bike rags! So, what's the article say, just out of curiosity? Is it written by a visitor, or has someone on the regular staff grown a brain? [Again, not my fave rag... ] Ride on!

I subscribe to both Motorcyclist & Cycle World & I like both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 And? Should I sell shares and buy Guzzis? 89674[/snapback] Absolutely. I have in this some quality Guzzis that I might sell to you. My trustworthy agent will accept payment and I will send you the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeve Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I subscribe to both Motorcyclist & Cycle World & I like both of them. 89689[/snapback] I subscribe to Pscho Whirl too, tho' mostly because it's cheap & they're right down the road from me [but the doggone greedy fish excreta* never ask for real world riders to drop in & help'em review their bikes!] MCN & Rider are the ones I really enjoy, in that order, but CW, being the big fish in the small pond, gets most of the previews & long-term test bikes first (which is why the other rags usually seem to complain about getting cracked up test-bikes & such, I guess ) Of course, besides MCN, very few of the US bike rags compare with the Brit rags for sheer candor! The Brit rags may be staffed by complete nutjobs, but at least they're not afraid to slag a bike if they don't like it... I guess I'll have to give ol' Motorcyclist** a look this month, just to see what they've gone & said about the V11 Sport... * or, in the parlance, "Bass Turds!" ** Doesn't H-D own this trademark from one of their in-house publications from the last century? How'd they miss filing a lawsuit on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Again, not my fave rag... ] Ride on! 89688[/snapback] They interview Ed Miltch (Guzzitech) He tells it like it is, talks about the quirks and the positives. The mag says they're a bargin as a clean example can be had for under $6000. The report overall is good though not glowing. Hey, we know why we love them and the non guzzisti think we're nuts. If they don't get it, they never will. <_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geno929 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I thought that the article was actually very complimentary. Considering that it was the same old American press and not the same old HONKAWYAMAZUKI. Told it like it is: a bike not for everybody! That describes me. Different. Odd. Weird! Yeah, that's me!

Admin Jaap Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The one brit bike rag I used to enjoy was Performance Bike. I don't know if it's still around, but their writing was hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The one brit bike rag I used to enjoy was Performance Bike. I don't know if it's still around, but their writing was hilarious! 89840[/snapback] Yes it is still around- they did a nice piece on the MGS01 a few months back. I buy Motorcycle Sport And Leisure now that I am a boring old fart. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
