Hello - I'm looking for a V11 Sport or LeMans wrecked or not in the US or Canada. Thanks - Doug

Thanks...looks great aside from the pipe. Guzzi Tech has some content about a fairing from Stucchi and I found this link: http://lookathesign.blogspot.com/2011/11/carena-griso-by-stucchi-sketches.html updated... this link has good photos http://www.rocket-garage.blogspot.com/2012/01/ipothesys.html

hello - I saw this photo on the Cafe Racer blog. It appears to be a well executed kit for the Griso. It looks great from what you can see. Sorry, the blog didn't have any more photos or details. Anyone have information?

probably because the American tried to listen to an Englishman recite it and couldn't understand any of the spoken words.

BMW in it too, init? very much so.

nearly doubles the airbox volume? impressive point in addition to many others in the quoted text

Great pic !

418 lbs. is light in relation to a stock Guzzi. Dropped nearly 80 lbs. Sure, it is not as light as new bikes, but the 'net' impact this Guzzi's weight reduction has on the bike experience may be more profound than any lightweight spec sheet when considering Guzzi's power delivery (especially for street use). A carbon fibre backbone frame with airbox (like Ghezz-Brian) with aluminum plates & trellis sections attached (like Bimota has done with their bikes) would look better, be more cost effective, and achieve significant weight reduction. It also wouldn't have ties to the over-hyped Wraith.

I searched our forum, but didn't find anything here, so I'm posting this if you haven't seen it yet. Very nice light weight. http://www.pipeburn.com/home/2010/10/14/2011-renard-grand-tourer.html http://renardmotorcycles.com

This one is going around the blog world (not sure if its been added to this site) Nice, but what's w/ that seat & are those footpegs on the swinging arm?

I have seen the black Ballabio in person. Nice bike with low miles under $6k (I think). Moto I is great

"Liking one bike over another is related not only to it's spec & performance, but to it's looks & "character" & to the history & image of the manufacturer. And - being human we have irrational preferences. KB " agreed. Many of the same reasons I ride Guzzis. The performance of the engine is still good enough to perform great on roads that matter most. (would be something else in a streetable MGS-02). As far as the boxer being discontinued...just goes to show you "management" doesn't get it right all the time. Was that top managment team the same one BMW has now? Look how many boxer-based bikes have been sold since then. While at the same time, BMW could out-do HD in the "classic/nostalgia" line if they wanted. Not in total sales, but in authentic look of a prior era. The boxer can be used effectively alongside many of their other engines/bikes. Guzzi could do the same with their line.

It is hard not to think the price will be high, but if they can price it to be competitive with BMW touring bikes, it would be great for the industry, especially American motorcycles. I would also have an easy decision about another bike.
