Be careful, Its an addiction and an expensive one at that! At least for me it is.
My main ride is a BMW R100GS Paris Dakar edition and its starting to get long in the tooth at 200.000 miles.
I have no plans of selling it, but thinking its time to start shopping for a new long distance bike, and the Moto Guzzi Stelvio is at the top of the list next would be a Yamaha Super Tenere, but no new BMW in my future.
Price point, and relability issues have turned me off on them.
Did you get any luggage or panniers with the bike?

Yes, the MG Jackal is basically a stripped down version of their California lll. However this did come with the standard 'police ' style windshield which is good for keeping bugs off you, but it's non adjustable and will buffet you pretty good unless you lean into it a bit. John Herring suggested a Plexistar ll, which is adjustable and gives better wind coverage. And they're about $200.00.

It also came with some 'economy" soft saddle bags that work well. The problem is they're a bit far forward and almost are an interference with the passenger foot pegs. That'll be the next swap out. But would work good for a solo rider.

Next I'll be getting a backrest and box. Might have to modify because Guzzi accessories are expensive! That is unless you're savvy at eBay.
A new sissy at rig is about 5-600$ from Guzzi. If I'd had the bike 2 months ago I could have gotten a nice used on on eBay. It topped at $125. So I'll keep my eyes out for something.

Yes an addiction, I'm close to 60 and have had cycles since I was 9. This is the 3rd 'Goose' I've owned.,,
