    Moto Guzzi 940 Custom

    This looks like a pleasant cruiser-type motorcycle.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I like that. Apparently Guzzi have some sort of "adventure bike" coming soon as well.

    Hmmm, the Guzzi equivalent of a HD Sportster. Give it twin dials, mufflers each side and get rid of the handle bar risers though. Oh and throw in a centre stand for good measure.

    Funnily enough, I thought of Mrs H as soon as I saw it. If it goes round corners at least as well as its big brother the Cali, then Mrs H will be giving the hurry up to quite a few unsuspecting individuals.

    Actually I've always like Guzzis.

    It's just that I like giving the Guzzisti shit more than owning one.

    Ha ha...anyway, yes I like this, but what is it with Guzzi "experimenting" with exhaust styling lately? (ie Griso).
    This custom is nice but I agree Bonez in it needs more conventional mufflers.

    Well the lack of centrestand on my V11 made pulling out the rear wheel a pain and a half, !!!

    I guess you may expect the lack of a centrestand on a machine with sporting pretentions for cornering clearance etc but not on this 940 Custom, no excuses Guzzi !!

    I'm not into cruisers at all, but that looks very attractive. Guzzi have been making some of the nicest paint jobs recently -- that matte tank and rear guard looks gorgeous! Fairly low fork rake as well, which makes it look much less stupid and probably improves handling no end as well. I suppose that's because it's a `custom'?

    @nude, I quite like those silencers -- they look quite conventional, and are certainly a hell of a lot better looking than those awful `can' things that have proliferated everywhere. I agree, though, that they would look nicer with an exhaust on each side, rather than stacked; but the stacked silencers seems to be a cruiser characteristic.

    I'm with Xerxes on the silencers. They look like the shotties on the HD XR1200 but on the other side of the bike.

    Motu - you funny guy. Ha.

    I have an ethos? I was aware of the pathos.......

    That would be like saying you are calm and collective when someone pisses you off, ain't it.......

    Back to the Guzzi, wonder what carbon cans would look like on it.
