Mileage, service, problems that sort of thing.
I have 10,000 miles on mine very few problems, the ones I did have were of
the small teething type. Like the odometer reset knob vibrating out ( jack
loves this one)
A new one and some locktite fixed it. Very easy bikes to work on if your
into that sort of thing. Service has not been a problem as long as there is
a Guzzi or BMW shop around. Both the Triumph shops at the Rallies serviced
Guzzis. Their biggest problems are parts availability. I have heard of
people waiting 6 months and some are still waiting. Aprilia just fired
everyone at the MGNA. Shut it down and moved everything to some Aprilla
place? From what I hear of Aprilia they might be worse.
Futura buyers beware!
The V11s weighs in at 482lbs dry has 91 HP and 70 ft lbs @ 6000rpm
However I think this type of bike is more about the character of the riding
experience you are after. The wind, vibration, sound etc. is all part of
this. I think the Bonnieville would also be a similar experience. A dual
sport ( Paul and Dee ) would also give you the choice to hit some dirt roads
you miss on the ST.
Hopes this helps.
Ride safe!
