The driver was courteous and professional, delivery event went well.
Gorgeous !! Good choice in color, too
Congrats.
You mentioned no dirtbike riding experience. I'd suggest some dirtbike riding instruction would be a good way to increase your skillset, possibly preventing any mishaps on the road.

You're probably right.
That bike is so sweet. I have owned Honda, Yamaha, KTM, BMW and Suzuki...... and I have always wanted a Guzzi.....
Your bike would be the one I would purchase.
I also checked out that dealership in Vegas and they have amazing prices.
I really have any eye for one of their V7 Stornello's..... Put knobbies on that dude and for $6,500 have an awesome Scrambler!!!!

His bike and mine were at the back of trailer next to door, the trailer was full of lots of other bikes as well, many appeared to be pre-owned's. We went over a checklist going over the bike for any problems or damage. They had already noted a couple slight scuffs top rear on the starboard pannier-- classic footwear scuffs from folks throwing a leg over it in the show room with the panniers on it. Nothing of concern, I'll add scuffs from my own boots to those, from same thing... soon enough.
So, in the end..... it was a pretty long wait but worth it. And yes, now that I have the bike and all the proper paper work in hand, it was worth the savings !! Take an additional $ 1500 off the closeout price shown below ... $11,495 selling price
I was just at that dealer Tuesday! I'm riding my XSR900 across the US.

Congratulations! Very nice motorcycle.
About dirt riding. BMW owner's manuals in the '70's and'80's used to suggest modest dirt riding for ALL of their bikes, BEFORE road riding. Their point was that, during dirt riding you can easily overcome slippin' and slidin' because the speed is low, so if you face a similar situation during road riding you can react better.
Good luck with the bike, looks great and certainly not a "cookie cutter" looking bike.
Im sure it will create lots of conversation.
