Moto Guzzi Belagio 950cc
 

:mchappy: May make a lovely smooth tourer with a few tweaks.

My Brother just took delivery of one of these here in the UK and after a quick blast I can confirm its a great bike.

Its a cruiser in the Street Bob form but I would say with a wind shield and luggage it would make a lovely tarmac tourer. Its also much cheaper in the Uk.

If you like youre Bikes low and stylish check one of these out I was very impressed and if I had the cash for a road Bike I would get one Today.

Even if I can understand that others may have it, I have absolutely zero-zip-nada feelings for cruiser-like bikes. Except for one. The Guzzi Bellagio. It's so stylish, sleek and un-bling-blinged, if you know what I mean. Definitely very un-Harley. European elegance at its best. If I had the money and needed a roadster/cruiser to fill up the garage, I'd go for the Bellagio in a heartbeat.

Norway Bike prices
 

Hans, just wondered what kind of price a Bellagio works out at over in Oslo ? My younger brother lives near Haugasund and he finds the bikes very expensive. Over here they go for £6999 its not cheap but its a lot of bike for the money.
Stu:mchappy:

You really don't want to know. But since you ask: The Bellagio RRP is 15000 GBP/22000 euro. And then you want to add a screen, some panniers and so on...

wow thats crazy
 

That seems ridiculous. How can they justify such a mark up I guess its your government. Any Uk rider will be pleasantly suprised to see that our prices are not so bad after all.

It's the Norwegian economy Stu - high salaries, high costs (McDonald type beefburger and Coke = £10), high taxation and an excellent standard of living for about 10m people.

Visit there and try it out.

4.5 million people. And your typical oil fuelled economy.

Oops
 

Ah! Sorry Hans, I just doubled your population - a bit like the UK in the past few years!
