    Well...the Moto is impressive in person. Love the carbon fiber and the Brembo brakes. Of course they would not let me ride it. Figured that before I rode the 40 miles up there but I wanted to see it in person and it was a nice ride.
    Very expensive to maintain and heavy as shoot getting it off the kick stand. Don't think one is in my future!

    I've owned a 'Guzzi, and in my experience they are not expensive to maintain. Not Gold Wing simple, but pretty damn bullet proof...

    Don't know your history with Guzzi,s but from what I know about them and read, Guzzi and BMW are very expensive to maintain compared to the Goldwings..Perhaps if one does their own maint. maybe not so bad, but the guy I rode with for several years always complained about the $200-$350 service charges to do basic upkeep on his BMW...which he later sold for a GW......Regards

    I would say no where near BMW costs.... But, I 'spose it's all dependent on your local dealer, and as you say, how much you do yourself...
