Yo Tim!
My ambassador had the Wixom luggage boxes which are rounded on the outside and deep. They're even contoured on the inside to wrap around the back shocks. Lots of room but the bad part is, they're too long in the front and make the passenger foot pegs ny-on to useless.

Certainly to this day a long sought after luggage system. |

Yes, but mine are the toploaders Roger at Caribou luggage does a bang up job, they are a bit heavier than the Krauser system. My BMW has been a faithful companion thruout the years, but not without problems, I burned the valves out after crossing the Andes into Argintina, Lost a driveshaft,broken subframe, and torched multipe rotors, (stators)all to be expected though. I will not buy another new BMW as the problems seem endless, but am in the market. On the top of my list is the Yamaha Super Tenere |

I will not buy another new BMW as the problems seem endless, but am in the market. On the top of my list is the Yamaha Super Tenere Clutches and u-joints were the problems with my first Guzzi, an 850T. With this new one, '89 Mille GT, I've had only to replace the u-joint once and put new seals in the rear end. But, with less than 70,000 miles on it, it's still a baby. I'd not buy another Guzzi. Don't like the designs and don't think I could fix it when it broke. My nearest Guzzi dealer is up in Baltimore (I'm in Alexandria, VA). I used him for the rear seal replacement, which were leaking again within a month. Won't go back. If I were to buy another, I'd probably look for a Honda ST1300 in good shape. But I figure this one will last me 'til I don't need one anymore. Then maybe a Honda Silverwing might be a good choice. Haven't done any riding in the Andes, although we did a lot in the Alps. I'm sure the roads were much better in Europe! -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner behavior causes problems. |

Yo Tim!
My guzzi ambassador wasn't the fastest thing in the world WOT was in the Low 70mph. I haven't researched it but I'm thinking it had side hack gearing. The claim is that the top end was normally in the high 90mph range. It didn't matter to me. When I'd hit the 4 lane I'd WOT and let it hammer away, usually and according to the veglia speedo, about 73 was the top mph.
