hey- i was also looking at the 06 moto guzzi griso 1100. what do you think?
bikes i have owned:
71 honda sl 350cc
65 triumph bonneville 650cc
66 bsa lightning rocket 650cc
75 xlch harley sportster 1000cc
76 honda sohc 750cc
78 honda sohc 750cc k model
86 1100 honda shadow w/jawa sidecar
86 harley flt
94 1200 harley sportster
02 harley flh w/98 harley sidecar (current)
I always had a couple of bikes until I discovered I was averaging about 1000 miles on the rig for every mile I put on the bike. My last one was a very nice TransAlp. I sometimes wish I still had it, but I discovered that the last two years I had it I put on something like 130 miles. For that it wasn't worth tripping over.
My bikes are listed in my sig line...
I don't register them all, this year just four Guzzis... All with specific uses in mind, Quota, EV, Hack and the SP...
The Griso seems to be more of a Hot Rod, single person cycle and I have a couple of those if I want to ride that way, I just cannot justify another weapon of that type that right now.
I am in hopes that the Norge 1200 Sport Touring rig will get here in '07 for Sue and I to use two up and travel.

I can't remember them all.
Mostly Harleys, 7 or 8 of them ranging from 1937-1996
Five Goldwings from 1975-1986 At one time I had three. :0)
3 Triumphs, 1952 T-bird, 59 Bonneville, and 67 Tiger 100T,
Yamaha xs750, 2 850 Specials, IT 175 Hill Climber, and an XS1100
Honda TransAlp, CB750, CBR 1000,
BMW R60, 2 small 70's vintage Ducati one Lungers, a MK 3 350 and a 250.
2 Ariel Square fours, a 40's vintage 600cc, and a 1954 1000cc with a Sportster fork gas tank and seat.
And my 1998 Valkyrie.
Wow, it's been awhile since I've really given thought to how many bikes I've owned over the years, Mike is right it's a nice trip down memory lane....Right now the stable consists of: a 2003 Honda 1800 VTX, 1973 Kawasaki 900 Z1, 1985 Honda Interstate (currently being equiped w/Velorex 565 Tour) and a 1985 Honda VF700.
81 bmw r100rt / sputnick body on custom frame
83 bmw r80st
the rest are currently projects or not registered/insured
83 bmw turbo 1000 cafe
82 bmw home built adventure 1000, jesse bags, 9 gallon tank, etc.
76 "real" Triumph Bonneville, my first street bike
71 Bultaco 250 alpina
Aside from the rig shown;
73 Yamaha RD60
75 Honda CB400F (400/4 SS)
90 Honda GB500
82 BMW R65LS (only new bike. 87K now)
01 Kawasaki W650 The Bonnie Triumph should have made. I am constantly amazed at what a great all 'round bike this is and it's completely taken over from the LS.
48 Indian Chief (bobbed)
Only 2 I'm sorry went away; 52 BMW R67/2 restored, and a police model R67 w Steib Spezial, all original except engine rebuilt. The best handling rig ever.
I absolutely have to have both two and three wheels available. Sometimes you wake up and say, "Today I want to lean on those corners!" And then some days you wake up and your truck won't start and you have to go buy a 125 pound bale of hay.
Yeah, yeah, I know about those rigs with the flexible struts that allows the tug to lean. That's totally unnatural.
