Dunque, quello che so è che la NTX è stata costruita in varie versioni, 350, 650 e 750 4V.

Io non l'ho mai provata di persona, ma qui c'è un sito australiano di impressioni d'uso che dice che va benone, a parte lo sterzo un pò lento tipico delle Guzzi di quel periodo:

Citazione:
What a surprise this baby turned out to be! The NTX is one of those model evolutions that on the surface looks to be just cosmetic; indeed, just a stylistic update of the TT, but when you really start to look, it's only the wheels that are shared. In the engine a different cam gives extra horsepower, which provides a reliable 160+ kph, with plenty of mid-range punch from 5000, lasting all the way to the red-line, another 2500 revs away. On the road this bike keeps up with anything out of a corner, and simply runs out of revs when doing the high speed chase. I do have some concerns about the engine longevity, as this bike just begs for thrashing.
Longer suspension and wheel base transform the handling into the stable, sure-footed feel of the bigger series Lemans, albeit accompanied by that traditional slow steering I've come to know and hate. Taller in the saddle than the TT, the bike weighs in at around 180 KG dry but feels lighter than the lower R80 G/S. It certainly behaves better in the dirt than any of the other shaft-drive bikes and even though the back end still gets totally out of shape in the rough, the bike remains on track, allowing you to travel a lot faster than is probably good for you (yes, I crashed!). The front suspension/steering geometry and braking power are the most limiting factors on this unit.
That earlier complaint about fuel capacity? - Guzzi went to the other extreme this time - 30 litres worth. Now you might be thinking it's top heavy when a full load of go-juice is aboard, but I swear on a stack of Guzzi workshop manuals, you just don't notice.
The NTX feels much more professional than the TT or R80 G/S BMW, and that tractor motor has made this bike a firm favourite on the road, as it doesn't embarrass one with a lack of power or puny exhaust note that can be found on some of the singles we occasionally ride. Laurent and I love this thing, and no-one else minds getting stuck with the old dunger once in a while.
