this shows how easy more potential can be gotten from the engine: http://www.hmb-guzzi.de/html/tuninggriso8v.html

the stelvio has an alternator like the breva, griso, norge that has enough power for your magnetron. 12 V 550 W Driving the Stelvio is fun, very easy and lots of comfort, and loves bad tarmac, because the longer suspension travel

hi Jaap, I've been looking into that too, ryanair tickets are cheap, sleeping is more expensive. maybe we go together?

original is Bitubo. But the ohlins from a scura does it better:-) You might get one of these on ebay if you take some time. This one looks the same: http://cgi.ebay.com/Lenkungsdaempfer-mit-H...id=p3286.c0.m14 And the left side panel in carbon is on ebay germany now too (3x).

theis is what it should look like. They are basicaly a v11 sport first series, with single plate clutch, black frame and engine, and cf cans. I think they had a number on the triple clamp. Suspension is marcochi/sachs

Dice Venini: “La decisione, che ci è stata comunicata senza nessuna discussione preliminare, non ci trova affatto d’accordo perché cambia completamente la fisionomia della fabbrica. Venini says: "The decision, which has been communicated without any preliminary discussion, there is hardly agree completely because it changes the character of the factory. Nel 2006 avevamo firmato con la dirigenza un faticoso accordo, che prevedeva di mantenere all’interno tutte le attività tranne le lavorazioni meccaniche. In 2006 we signed with the management a hard agreement, which planned to retain all activities except the machining. Quindi la testa (la progettazione) e l’anima (il montaggio) di Moto Guzzi rimanevano a Mandello. Then the head (design) and animation (assembly) of Moto Guzzi remained at Mandello. Ora questo accordo è stato di colpo cancellato, l’identità del Marchio verrà annacquata, il nostro patrimonio di conoscenze e professionalità, accumulato fin dal 1921, verrà disperso in brevissimo tempo. Now this agreement was suddenly canceled, the identity of the mark will be watered, our wealth of knowledge and expertise, accumulated since 1921, will be dispersed quickly. La decisione di portare alcuni uffici a Noale e altri a Pontedera significa infatti lasciare a Mandello solo le operazioni di assemblaggio, troppo poco”. The decision to bring some offices in Leicester and other means to Pontedera Mandello only to leave its assembly operations, too little. " Venini aggiunge anche: “In secondo luogo, c’è mistero sui lavori, che ci sono stati spiegati in modo molto sommario. Venini added: "Secondly, there is mystery about the work that we've so much relief. Non si capisce perché con la scusa della sicurezza si debba chiudere l’intero stabilimento uffici compresi, e non solo i reparti di volta in volta interessati dai lavori edilizi. It is hard to understand why the pretext of security we should close the entire plant including offices, not just the departments in turn affected by construction work. Questa ci sembra soprattutto una scusa per far fronte da un lato alle difficoltà di vendita e quindi ai problemi di smaltimento della produzione, nel caso degli operai; e dall’altro al fatto che molto personale impiegatizio non vorrà o non potrà essere trasferito a Pontedera, e la ristrutturazione aziendale darà alla dirigenza il destro per mettere tutto questo personale in cassa integrazione straordinaria: di fatto, è un licenziamento mascherato”. This seems to us mainly an excuse to meet on the one hand the difficulties of sale and then to the problems of disposing of production, in the case of laborers, and thanks to the fact that very personal jobs will not or can not be transferred to Pontedera, and corporate restructuring will give the management the right to put all this staff layoffs extraordinary: in fact, is a disguised dismissal. " Venini conclude dicendo: “Si tratta insomma di un’operazione di drammatico ridimensionamento, molto ben studiata per far apparire le cose diverse da come sono. Venini concludes by saying: "This is short of a dramatic downsizing, very well designed to bring up other things as they are. Si fa carta straccia dell’accordo del 2006; e se è vero che il Gruppo Piaggio si impegna a stanziare 12 milioni di euro, sembra ormai evidente che questi soldi non serviranno a far diventare la Moto Guzzi una fabbrica più efficiente, ma un bello showroom con annesso museo e un po’ di chincaglieria. It is the paper of 2006, and although the Piaggio Group is committed to allocating 12 million euros, it now seems clear that this money will not make the Moto Guzzi factory more efficient, but a beautiful showroom with adjoining museum and a po 'di bric a brac. Un posto dove si ricorda la Moto Guzzi, non dove la si pensa e la si costruisce”. A place to remember the Moto Guzzi, not where you think and is built. " Il Segretario Generale della FIOM CGIL di Lecco è deciso a passare alle misure dure, se la Piaggio non dovesse tornare sui propri passi: “Abbiamo già organizzato uno sciopero e un corteo, e seguiranno molte altre iniziative sindacali: tutto il territorio si mobiliterà in difesa della Moto Guzzi”. The Secretary General of the FIOM CGIL Lecco is determined to pass tough measures if the Piaggio does not go back to where: "We have already organized a strike and a parade, and follow many other unions: the whole territory will mobilize in defense the Moto Guzzi. "

well you'll be back here, you'll buy a v11 agaian.

can you find the heads? But maybe they never need service

No, they come from a storage place where they don't have a clue what is what, that helps.

they plan december/januari http://www.repubblica.it/2008/10/motori/mo...l?ref=mothpstr9 The Italian unions are not amused.

why should it be perfect, Guzzi knows that we like to personalize a bike, so these things are added in an afternoon, no big deal.

The hypermotard has more sex in it then the new monster. And has all above mentioned things. The new monster looks overdesigned.

with so little bikes sold, it's not surprising that they don't do all models. And when talking sold bikes I assume each dealer also has average 2 bikes in stock, so that's 250 bikes still in stock. And you there get the bikes a lot cheaper then we get them. And then you are all waiting until the brevas 1100 get cleaned out for even less. So all buy a new one before Piaggio shuts down Guzzi in the USA I don't think guzzi sold 10.000 bikes last year worldwide, but a lot less.

I don't know what's so special about that 1100. If you see what 14 years after the m900 is new, it's not much. If it should be such a thing, I would buy a hypermotard.

I think since 2000, development wasn't done in mandello, but noale. I think the sales of the current range isn't that big, that Piaggio is excited about it. Please don't start why that is. The 8v must have cost a huge ammount of money, and they aren't selling so much of them. So calculation running costs againg sales income, makes that something (big) has to change. The grounds where the factory is on, is worth good money, and appartments will be build. I think Beggio still has his hands in that. But surprising is that a complete production line was build 2 years ago, with new engine asembly line. So things have changed worse fast. I suppose production/assembly goes to Pontedera.

Murray, yours doesn't have an oil thermostat. They left it out for the mgs01, for street use it should be fitted. Your first gear is so long, because the gearbox is same as the v11, but they put a longer primary gear rate in, so everything is longer. I have the v11 gearing that is shorter. It goes fast enough this way for me. There are quite a number on the road in germany, legal.
