The worst part about the brembo setup is those floating disks. They warp quick and leave you with a weird lope in the front end. You can abuse them but then you have to give them a chance to cool down while moving or else the rotors are done.
I've loved both my modern Guzzis with their fuel injection and electronic ignition. Practically worry free. You still have to get used to the standard Guzzi top end noise and clutch chatter though. No matter how nice my bassa looks, the harley guys are always just SURE that it's about to explode.
Ahhh... The sweet sweet sound of the Moto Guzzi Symphony....
