 | | If you've ever ridden one of Guzzi's big twins - the range was a big seller in the US from the early seventies through the early eighties, with models including the California, the Le Mans and the Convert - you'll recognize Guzzi's big 90 degree transverse Vee twin motor. |
 | | The Guzzi is big, powerful (as in a claimed, and believable, 90 hp), and has dauntingly effective brakes and shaft drive. |
 | | There are no absolutely rational reasons for owning a Guzzi: other bikes are faster, the other Italian bikes are better handling and still faster, other bikes are as reliable (Moto Guzzi has a reputation of stalwart reliability: they've been making these motors a long time) and other brands have more dealership coverage. |
