That happens to me too from time to time, its' so annoying. I sometimes wish I had written my message in notepad and pasted it in.

Yeah I know what you're saying, all Guzzis seem small to me except the V11 Sports which secretly I always coveted. Still I think the Ducati 748/916's and Monsters of the same era walk all over them in terms of both style and handling and I'm happy to report that I own one of each and neither disappoint.

Poor reliability is a myth really considering how mechanically complex they are and considering their age (of mine) they stand up well against most other bikes but only if they've been really looked after.

A lot of us on here are running 15-20 year old bikes so you expect the odd problem or two. There are a few problems but most are well documented by now anyway and the newer bikes have improved reliability and increased service intervals equivalent to most Jap bikes.
