I know very little about serious bikes or biking. Are the high pegs
on a Guzzi one of its attractions, i.e., the ability to bank it hard
into a sharp turn?

I don't think the pegs are high, but I've never measured the ground clearance and
compared it to a Harley. On a Harley, the first things that hit are the floorboards.
I like my bike because it's much more comfortable for a tall person than a Harley,
IMHO.

I just got on and measured. From the center of my pegs to the ground is about 11".
That's higher than I'd have guessed.

Here is the Guzzi site. Compare the Grizzo (which is a sportbike) to the California
(a cruiser) to the Stelvio (an 'adventure' bike for on and off road). My bike would
be most comparable to the Norge, what I would call a 'sport tourer'.

Oh, and the pegs are hinged so they come up when being dragged!
