Just rode two Rapides back to back after spending some time recently on a 2004 Guzzi Lemans 1100. The Guzzi is a paint shaker compared to the Rapides. Same with the 2011 BMW 1200 rt I rode awhile back.
On the positive, the Guzzi is a nice looking bike with very good brakes and it handles well.
But sometimes you wonder if we have moved forward much at all in nearly seventy years. And these Rapides have both been in continuous use for nearly 70 years!
But to be fair they have both been carefully overhauled some time ago by the best, the late John Mcdougall.
