I gave up motorcycling, or so I thought, 2 years ago, after 40+ years. I sold my 2 bikes, (2010 Tiger 1050, 56000miles, 2016 Yamaha Tracer, 34000miles). This was due to my wife worrying each time I went out on either of them. She has, this year, noticed how irritable I have become without a bike and has conceded. I am, therefore, in the market for a bike. I want something different. I have narrowed the choices down to 2, I think. The Moto Guzzi V85tt or the MS 950. I will read through this forum, sh#t my pants (as we all do after reading any forum) then make a decision. I have test ridden both bikes. The MS is very refined, lovely to ride and, I think, very beautiful. The Guzzi is a bit rough and ready but it oozes character and is a blast.
As I said I will read through the forum and probably ask a few questions. Hopefully questions that have not been asked before. Thank you in advance.
