    Oh I know it's a 750 smallblock, that's no secret.

    What I don't know is the physical size. I presume it will be about
    the same as the 750Breva but some photos made it seem even smaller.

    The V50s various were quite tiny bikes. Be nice if this was closer to
    those than to the 850/1100/1200s.

    The original was slightly larger than a bonnie of the same time with a
    lower seat at the front so the shortys could stop with some tippy toes
    All depends if they stayed the same , if the pictures are of say a 6
    ft rider then it's still a low slung bike . I remember many times over
    hauling my cousins beemer in the twistys much to his digust but then he
    rode like a gurl anyway

    But Zebee, why do you care? You just bought a new Guzzi about 10
    minutes ago, didn't you? ;-)

    Well yes and I love it. It's a big bugger though, and I do sorta
    wonder about something smaller and lighter.

    I didn't get a 750 Breva because I was worried about the trailer
    towing ability, the Classic is apparently tuned for grunt which is
    perfect for haulage plus the body design is such that it will do well
    for carrying loads.

    A good oldfashioned handlebar fairing with hand coverage would
    probably make it as good a tourer as the 850T was although it won't be
    as nice as the Norge.

    Probably too light though - the T was low but heavy so managed heavy
    loads, I think the Classic might not do as well with a full trailer
    and lots of gear on the bike.

    I was also thinking of CC but the silly man went and bought a BMW so
    there's no hope of sense there!
