Moto Guzzi is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer that has endured from the industry's infancy to its place today as the oldest European manufacturer in continuous motorcycle production. Guzzi is now one of seven brands owned by Piaggio & Co. SpA, Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturer and the world's fourth largest motorcycle manufacturer by unit sales.

I have a 34" inseam, and it feels like a really small bike to me... much smaller feeling than my Sprint. apparently Guzzi offers a low seat option as well.
so far the bike is very enjoyable, feels quite nimble, and has tons of get up and go. It feels lighter than it's 500 odd pounds, corners & stops very effectively. I would say the only odd thing about the bike is it's tendency to "shake it's head" when in the slip stream of a truck or even a large car. I have experimented with the moveable windscreen to see if it makes a difference, and it doesn't seem to. That being said, a twist of the happy handle puts those issues well behind you in double-quick time. I did a highway run from western NY back to RI, 460 miles, in 6.5 hours with two gas stops. Gas mileage seems to be around 40 mpg most of the time. The heated grips work well, the suspension seems ok even two-up.
I am very happy so far.

Holy Italian BMT subs Batman!
I like that! I heard the Guzzi mill is nigh-on indestructible. I would want one like this...... But I have no where to travel to, nor any items to put in saddlebags....
