I rode my buddies Guzzi 1100 sport and I am telling you regardless of
what the spec sheet tells you the thing has very little seat of the
pants torque. Compared to what i am used to anyway. That bike is just
not a good in town machine. I am aware that new Guzzi has the four
valve motor but, I bet it is still a slug off the line and has little
roll on power. That Duc 900 is pretty darn slow too. Also, with the
shaft drive it is guaranteed no wheelies.
