So the CARC shaft drive on the Guzzi's reportedly eliminates the jacking and other handling problems associated with traditional shaft drives, but how is it on reliability and maintenance frequency vs., say, BMW and Triumph's shaft drive setups?
Yes, I am looking at bikes again. Having come off of (literally...) tech-rich Ducati's, I'm looking for a low tech bike. Dial gauges, manually adjustible preload/rebound, no driveline electronics except ABS. Minimal widgets to fail out, years down the line. Just a good solid old school bike with low maintenance that I can do valve adjusts on without too much complexity. Able to get out of it's own way but doesn't have to snap my neck or pull my wrists off. No chain maintenance, and not a metric cruiser or Harley Davidson. HD's are great and legendary bikes but not my cup of tea, nor are the copy cat types. Plus, I like things that are different and Guzzi's certainly are.
Guzzi Norge 8V of interest at the moment.
