I've been on motorcycle forums for more than twenty-five years now... every single brand has a collection of folks who loudly proclaim they'd 'NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE!' ... and then some tale of woe to share. then they convince themselves that some other brand would never have these kinds of problems.
it's just human nature I guess.

I don't think the problem is so much it broke and I'm not buying another one. It's it broke and I can't get Moto Guzzi to send parts in a timely manner or my dealer got fed up and dropped them so I have to trek who knows how far to get it fixed. I think the service issue is where the rubber meets the road on this. If my bike breaks I don't want it sitting in a shop for 3 months waiting on parts that any other manufacturer would have sent out in a week or two. Or my bike broke and my old dealer dropped the brand from lack of support so now I have to tow it to a different state for warranty work.
I get that some of you guys love them, I really liked the v100 and still do. But Moto Guzzi has a problem on their backend sales support. They aren't going to get new dealers in the US until they can get their act together and it's going to further erode the brand in the states. There are too many better options right now for them to take the "meh, pass the pasta we'll get to that next month!" approach. When someone is doing research on them and they see "I love this bike, but I had to wait 2 months to get it running again". Which part do you think they'll pay more attention to?
