Moto Guzzi has a poor dealer locator tool. I can't find a dealer within 300 miles of us.
The other problem is I like torque and the V 100 only has 77.
My 1250 has 105, my 1200 had 92 and my K1300 had 103.
I hear you about the torque, but the reason why people like torque is the gratifying "pull" during acceleration or during low speed riding. That pull does not exist on its own, and is tied to the appropriate gearing for the satisfying seat-of-the-pants feeling or no lugging at slow speed.
I like a lot of torque when on a twisty road accelerating out of a curve.
