Neither are available in the States. What do you think of them?

Harley is supposedly coming out with a bike under $6,000 available in the States within a year. I think it'll be a flop. They haven't shared any details.

I read somewhere that the H/D x350 , x500 are made in China and are rebranded Benelli’s with some slightly different colors & graphics. I’ve seen several different versions of the Honda 350 single , all very Honda , all very retro. Haven’t seen anything other than an artist AI rendering of a 500 single. Only thing I hear is 2026 here. First choice would be a Honda then a RE , or a RE 650 , CFMoto I just can’t see one in my garage or under the tree in the yard. In the meanwhile I’ll just ride my tracker , no rev limiters , no abs , no traction control , no fly by wire throttle a real cable to a real carburetor , just a simple motorcycle that makes me smile and will never sell.

Reply #19 - 08/27/25 at 17:40:49 The moto guzzi v7 has always caught my eye. It's actually a reasonably priced bike for what you get. What are some concerns or negatives with it? I've read about electrical gremlins. That Corsa is so very sharp.

I have several friends in the area that have recently bought Moto Guzzi bikes. The "go fast" choice is the V100 Mondello, the other bike they buy is the V85TT for riding that is more directed toward travel. Several of them have chosen the V85TT over their previous Stelvio as they are lighter and easier to hold up when stopped.

None of them have had any reliability issues with their Moto Guzzi bikes - but they are all stored indoors and these folks generally sell them after 4-5 years and get something else!

Someday I will be old......But not today!
