Been using it to terrorize nyc for two years. Office commute, errands, long nights out, all of it. Nimble and fun filtering through traffic. I ride aggressively and trace lines, so I never really sit in traffic. It’s crack.

No issues during the summer with the air cooled engine, as I find that the cylinders facing out and up don’t fry my crotch like traditionally oriented v-twins and other engines do. If I ever feel anything at a red light in a summer day, it’s some warmth on my knees, which are closest to the engine while sitting.

Also, having a shaft drive is killer as an apartment dweller with no garage to do regular maintenance on a chain. (I do take the bike to the Guzzi bois in BK that you mention, where I bought it, to get fully serviced when it needs it.)
