Best Bike to ride before a good listening session

Ogsarg, I'll 2nd Guzzis, I've owned 2 of them in the past & will someday hopefully own another. Tons of character, wonderful in the twisties, small block V8-like torque & of course that motor texture & exhaust note that can't be replicated. For right now I have to keep it to just one cycle unfortunately, still get the MGNOC newsletter though which is a real gem.
Stay tuned Pehare. Rumor has it that Guzzi is up for sale and the most likely taker is Ducati. Apparently they were after it when Aprilia bought them but lost out in a bidding war. Lots of other rumors but Ducati has confirmed that they are in the due diligence phase and will make an offer.

As much as I love my goose, I don't think I'd buy a new one right now.
I ride a Moots Ti road bike with Campy Record 10 and Mavic Ksyrium Wheels. I raced many years on steel, then I tested a ti frame and couldn't believe the ride. Spectacular!!!
merlin ultralight with campy chorus and easton carbon is my new found love. You have to try the overpriced easton mag stems...with the carbon bars there is nothing smoother. still revert to my old torture geometry bianchi every now and then.
