Looks like I'll be moving on...

Well I decided to trade the 2015 F6B on a 2015 Multistrada today. I purchased the F6B back in December of last year, loved the motor but the ergonomics didn't fit me. I never got used to the weight and girth of the thing. I 've always had Italian sport bikes and I realize now that the Honda, though a fine bike in it's own right would never fill the void left by my Moto Guzzi. Through the years I've been a member of more forums than I can remember, the community here is friendly, knowledgeable and at times downright hilarious. I will miss this place. Thank you for allowing me to add my $.02. Ride safe!

Thanks for your help with a self storage location. If I get a bike out your way, I'll check back on the forum to see if you're still lurking.

Good luck with your new ride.

I envy you Nero. The Multi has been on my radar for quite some time and the new ones have only intensified the feeling. My problem is that I live in a black hole for European bikes and I need a good dealer for whatever I own.
Good luck with that new ride.

Speaking of Moto Guzzi, have you seen the soon-to-be-released "Flying Fortress?"

Well, if Moto Guzzi is just one thing, they are pretty to look at. The California and the Norge are also very beautiful machines.

Moto Guzzi's problem is timeless, a weak dealer network and young sales people who don't or won't understand the Brand. Piaggio has pumped a ton of money into the Moto Guzzi line. I really think my Griso was equal to if not superior to Ducati with regard to quality and durability. Sadly there are no longer any Guzzi dealers in The Valley where I'm based. There is a small shop in Tucson where I bought my Griso in 2014. I spoke with the owner two months ago when I first started having second thoughts about my F6B. He told me then he could no longer afford to stay with Piaggio. Kind of sad but it's the way of the world..

Good luck Nero. I decided to get away from BMW after riding them for several years for similar reasons. Dealer network is bigger than Guzzi, but still very small compared to Honda, Harley, etc. I did have a dealer about 30 minutes from me but was not very happy with them and the next closest was 3 1/2 hours away. I know the Multistrada is not a Guzzi, but I drove one last year and was very impressed with it. Keep the front end down and have fun!
