Reading the comments it seems the finish did not always hold up, but interesting to see that from 2016 ABS is a legal requirement - hope that is true in Europe as it would be great to have ABS on the entire Honda range.

I know what you mean

If only it was a bit bigger and had a bit more oomph

Oomph is plenty for getting me to and from work and its much bigger than a PCX which was reasonably OK in the comfort stakes.
Only issue I can think of is a lack of a local Moto Guzzi dealer, but if I bought a used one out of warranty that wouldn't matter at all.
Hmmm.....

Yes, I have had the hots for one of those V7s myself. Here in the States parts and service for Guzzis can be spotty. Even in a fairly large metro area of 2 million, my local Guzzi place is always either just about going under, or changing hands on a constant basis.

My dad owned a California Stone at one point. He said the factory basically has a "let them eat cake" attitude to support after the sale. But hey, the dang things have character in spades, and I still want one.
