I have to agree, I think both bikes (I rode a '72 /5 for a summer) instill a
sense of confidence....of course I also rode my panhead for 20 years before
getting into Guzzi...I bought my first Guzzi in '95 one week before the
National in Arkansas....it was a 71 Ambassador that had been sitting in a
garage for four years. I cleaned the carbs, put on a new battery and rode
that sucker across Arkansas(some of you might remember seeing it as it was
painted Tennesse Orange)...been hooked ever since!

I beg to differ. I think both bikes (/5 /6 and Ambo/Eldo) have a comerable
reliability and ease of maintenance. I only have two special tools for the
Beemer. A wrench for the exhaust nut and a clutch centering tool. There is
another I want to get the tranny apart and in that aspec, I think the
is easier to deal with. Getting the tranny apart I mean. But the clutch isI
easier to mess with on the beemer and ther tranny comes out easier. It's
just trade offs. Aint one better than the other, just slightly different.
personally like them both.theyHey Paul,
Some years ago, I picked up an R50/5, and then an R90/6, both becasue
thewere cheap. I hated them both, the R90 most of all. The "technology" of
everR90 - CV carbs, "improved" ignition, etc., made it a pain in the ass, and
the seat put the pain in my ass. It was the most uncomfortable bike I
everyowned. They both leaked constantly, and both the needles fell off of the
instruments on the R90. Every maintenance procedure is difficult, and
procedure needs special tools.
