I had actually thought a lot about a Guzzi 750, but both the price and the cost of service (at my request, RPM provided a list of standard charges for the first half-dozen service visits for both) helped make my decision... Plus I got a 2009, which was worth an additional discount. Now the KTM's would make a great second bike, for those who are well-heeled or don't already have a Tiger Cub or 441 Victor in the garage...
