From what I've read the SE is a limited run of 500 bikes, of which 50 came to the UK. I really like the colour and was very tempted by the V11 Tenni when they came out in the same colours. For some reason it just looks right on a Guzzi, it's difficult to imagine it on another bike. Really like the look with the spoked wheels as well.

The 02 Aprilia Futura is laid-up with a bad clutch slave cylinder (not to worry, she cleaned-up good with XXXXX steel wool and Berryman's Miracle B-12 Dissolve Anything Juice; now just waiting for parts) so I spent the day with the Zaftig CalVin (aka her wideness) mostly doing errands and motorbike shopping in nasty suburban traffic.

The nice white OEM panniers are $3K each list; when I discovered THAT, I bought some al-you-minium boxes from Happy Trails. That plus converting the final drive to 7:33 gearset makes this a superlative grocery/hardware/dogfood/motoroil/fertilizer getter. About the only gripe I have is with the OEM Metzler WanderTecs (and the tube-type wheels). I guess I gotta ride it a lot more and get me some Pirellis.

Here she is:

Since I'm one of those ATGATT fellows (including fluorescent lime yellow Scorpion helmet and fluorescent yellow jackets) I have it on good authority that it looks hilarious banking hard into a corner. Apparently the Shriners are considering a Group Buy to replace the mini-bikes.

Those boxes would look good in matching white.

Me, too! I love the wire wheels, too.

This bloody thing followed me home a couple of weeks ago.

sorry for the crappy cell pic

It definitely puts a smile on my face and I'm starting to understand why MG has such a passionate following.

Returning to riding after two-ish years of bicycling only, planning to ease in this fall and then do some two up with the lovely lady on back. My other main mount is a Titus Motolite for any mountain bikers here.

First post here, lotsa nice Guzzis on this thread.
