Just to preface...I own a 2000 C10 - 39000 miles - owned it for 6 years - I'm 6'0 180# - fit - 69 years young! Live in NW Oklahoma and ride a lot of nice roads (Eureka Springs, etc).
So, I rode a 100 mile loop early this morning and when I got home I thought as much as I love the C10, I'd like to try another similar bike. I'll ride 2000 miles a year or so - maybe more.
Thought about a Moto Guzzi Norge or a Triumph Trophy. If you were me - what would are the bikes you'd look at?

Thanks!

Moto Guzzi stopped making the big engine due to the many mechanical problems people experienced. Look at the recent offerings and only the 850 is used. Even the new V100 has been indefinitely delayed as a newly released model. I love the idea of a gorgeous Guzzi… but have always steered clear due to the above issues and lack of a solid dealership network.
 
I have a Triumph Trophy 1200 SE 20014.
Like it so far. Lots of torque. Very good fuel mileage. Very good wx protection. Did not come with std seat.
