You know it makes sense, they are f*cking good bikes and do exactly what you need them to do, having 3 in a row makes total sense to me as you know you like 'em.

Hope that gets better soon dude

Or, I just pick the one that kicks me in the heart the most, and then try and justify it against the above as ownership continues. At the moment it's a TL with handlebar conversion. Love the engine, love the sound, love the looks.

My next bike will DEFINITELY be a bike I would have always previously assigned to the 'love to own one, but will play it safe' pile. Thinking between the Griso and the Ducati S4. Given life's chances, I really think it's worth going for whatever inspires you the most.

The Stripple provided you with such inspiration in the past, so that you have owned two shouldn't indicate anything less than you love that bike. No point making change for the sake of change.

What Docca means is pick the one with the most bling on it.

Had a test ride on the Corsaro Veloce and was mightily impressed - storming engine, great handling! Also have a Guzzi 1200 Sport which I like a lot although appreciate the Griso has an uprated engine ! Cant really compare the motors in them as they are catering to totally different needs....dont think you would be disappointed by either...

TecMoto.co.uk - Italian Motorcycle Specialists : Moto Morini Dealer is the local dealer that let me have a spin although I do know the guy!

Don't worry. Having great lumps of reciprocating alloy vibrating between your legs does that to lots of people.
