MV making adventure bikes is akin to Maserati making SUVs. It's probably great to ride though.
The Guzzi is boat anchor like the big BM big adventure bikes. I'd try and keep the weight down, heavy bikes are far less fun.
In other news, I rebuilt the forks on my GSXR. One had been weeping for a while and I popped the other one completely landing a ham-fisted wheelie a couple of weeks ago. Not quite a night and day improvement but they're an awful lot better. Makes me somewhat regret not sticking in fancy valves and removing the hydraulic bump stop....the compression damping is still very harsh in the latter part of the travel - the bump stop seems to take up at least an inch of movement and the transition is not very nice.
Might order a lower mileage rear shock off the interwebs and give it a go for a while....the one on it is pretty fucked.
