I last had a Moto Guzzi (Le Mans MKII) in 1987 and did not ride bikes from that time until 2022.
I decided in 2022 to ride again and have gone from a Yamaha R3, CF Moto 650, Aprilia Shiver 750 and now in 2 days time I am picking up my Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer 2018.
At 62 years I have decided that I need to get back to enjoying true touring and cruising rather than trying to scrape foot pegs in the mountain twisties.
I live in New Zealand where we have a good mix of different roads. I do still ride every day to work into the city, which is 20KM each way and quite a bit of traffic.
So I will have to see how flexible the Roamer is in heavy traffic. The Aprilia handled that very well.
Thanks for the great forum.
