Was the power on the Guzzi comparable to the Ulysses?

Steve, the specs show 80hp/59 torques on a 505lb (wet) bike.

Sounds like the Uly would be more spry.

I know that dyno charts can be all over the place but I think the Guzzi might be pretty close despite the weight.
Having ridden a few Guzzis I know that they really get going once you spin the motor up a bit.
I'm going to guess that while the bikes are comparable in output the Guzzi will accelerate faster.
Neither one will terrify you, though.

They got luggage on it, that's a real good thing.
Won't that dinky little front fender pack full of mud?

It looks like electrically adjustable damping is an option for the forks, if not standard. No good views of the shock but Showa does make a set.

Wow - good point! When did HD last have a chain drive?

That being said, there's nothing wrong with an O-ring (or x-ring) chain. Sure - a chain is 'noisier', and you have to maintain it, but you don't have to worry about pebbles, and you can change it a lot easier and cheaper than a belt.

I think XLH bikes went over in 1990.
Big twins earlier than that I'm pretty sure.

Are those little 500 and 750 bikes belt drive?

So the latest HP numbers are in at around 145 and torque of 96 or so.

This sounds very competitive. Who knows if they will be able to keep it under $20K, I do doubt it
