Yep, that does it for me, style, colour, everything - the street version is shorter, lighter, smaller than an early H2, and has an extra 120HP. :lol:

God, now I know I'm old! I'd be embarrassed to be seen on that. I might have a blast riding it, but I'd still be embarrassed. :lol:

Doesn't that muffler look like it has an erection?

C'mon Jim - Safety fast, always! It's a well known fact that the Human eye is very receptive to that colour green, hence it's use on safety vests/gear all over the world!! That is the sole reason my bike is that colour....... ;) :mrgreen:

....besides, everyone should have the opportunity to pull the trigger on a 180hp sports bike, at least once!! (When people ask me what sort of bike I have , it's "Oh, one of those green Japanese Rocket-ships....")

I enjoyed the late-middle-aged lady looking at my motorcycle in the Post Office parking lot, pronouncing "Mott-oh Guh-zee" out loud, and then asking me "Who made that?" I told her that some nice men in Italy made it.

Ha! When I had my H1, 1970, I had a good friend who had a V7 Ambassador (a white one). That made for a VERY interesting swap........! He could ride it with a fair bit of flair, I was bloody hopeless!! :lol:

Yeah, the loop frame Guzzis like the Ambassador are known for being good bikes to ride slowly across the country and back on. The Tonti frame Guzzis like mine actually handle very well.

I gotta say that the first time I got my H2 running right, and put the throttle to the stops, IT SCARED THE HELL OUTTA ME! I don't want to ride these new bikes. My heart can't take it. :oops: :oops: :oops:
