I think somewhere is a video of a Vincent he put a Ducati belt drive engine into. Bolt in. Pretty bonkers. F'n fast too.

And she likes it like that?

Looks good to me. Makes me want the Stelvio 1200 even more....

No rap, just the nice ladies....

Auntie!

And all thats left of my original Greenie The new one is on its way..

@swooshdaveThe transformation of that AJS from basket case to the present is outstanding. Your friend Geoff is a master. Your Nortons look and sound pretty sweet too!

Ha ha We used to watch another mate race his RD400 there back in the day.... I seem to remember the hairpin catching him once. Cheers Guzzler

Fair point, but the effect is not that bad and is predictable. And with the transverse cylinder layout (longitudinal crank) there is a benefit in that respect. For a normal engine with the crank itself running transverse the higher you rev the engine the more gyroscopic force it develops. That makes it harder to steer. An example of that was my older brother and his Suzuki V Stroms. He had a 650 V Strom and a 1000 V Strom. He would complain the the 1000 V Strom was too hard to steer. I taught him not to rev it as high as he would rev the little 650 V Strom, it did not need to rev high to make power. And by not reving it any higher then you had to it made it much easier to steer. The Guzzi layout doesn't do that, the steering is what it is with almost no impact from how high you are reving the engine. It does turn slightly easier one way when getting on the gas and slightly easier the other way when getting off the gas. But that effect is very small and you really aren't likely to have it make a difference.

I have zero interest in the Stelvio, but am glad to see a new Stelvio as it is hopefully a precursor to a proper Guzzi with the new engine. A modern V11 Sport / LeMans using that engine would be wonderful. Or maybe a modern Griso. Heck, I would love an MGS-01 with that engine, but I suspect that is a bridge too far.

I'm gonna imagine that they keep trying to get the balance of "gelande" and "strasse" satisfactory for the majority of their customers. Soon, for me they will have to include a wheelchair ramp or a booster of some sort. And I know; I spent 8 years and 90k mi. trying to kill a '95 GS which still lies nearly dead in my garage...
