Greetings to everyone in the Lemme Motocycle Community. Quite new to the site, and this is my first post. My main ride is a 2000 Moto Guzzi California model with a 1100 engine. I have had it about a year and a half and bought it from a person in Markham, Ontario with just over 5000 km… The picture is right after I bought it. Since then I have added a top box, trailer hitch and an engine guard with highway pegs. My wife and I rode our bikes to the east cost last June and they performed wonderfully. Living in the Kingston/Ottawa area.
Do any members belong to a motorcycle club? I am a member of the “Old Bastards Vintage Motorcycle Club”. Club members are mostly from Eastern Ontario Canada. Some really great people with a real nice variety of rides. To learn more about the club visit the website at “https://oldbastards.ca/”.
I ride a GS so I appreciate bikes that have the engine mounted with the heads sticking out the sides!
I’ve always found the lateral V design to be an interesting choice.
I’d love to have been listening in on the conversation at the time. I’m sure cooling was part of it, but also existing design work and other elements surely played a part.

Ahh, I saw one of these posted when I was first looking to buy a bike and missed my opportunity to buy while I was researching it. Love my Bonneville but still wonder what might have been.
Sorry for the delay in responding. Moto Guzzi makes a nice bike, very traditional in a lot of respects. But like any ride, it must fit the rider. Hope you enjoy the Triumph.
