Woke up this morning smiling with feelings of excitement of the ride about to come...

Not thinking of buying gears ⚙️ ...but better a Guzzi than it’s kissin’ cousin 🤤

‘ere we go..

Actually was expecting better for the launch of a new century, new engine platform... something more celebratory with the splash & buzz created of a halo model. This looks boring as batshit - so the Breva launch commentary makes sense. I’m guessing the engine will have bore/stroke dimensions more akin to the Bellagio - with higher revs capability.

THE CENTENARY ENGINE In addition to the type of motorcycle, the engine is also intriguing. A new model to celebrate Moto Guzzi's 100th anniversary was announced last March by the president of the Piaggio Group, Roberto Colaninno, but at first glance it shouldn't be that. In fact, Colaninno had spoken of a surprising bike in terms of technology and performance and should not be represented by a crossover. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/m.gpone.com/it/2021/08/26/moto-news/moto-guzzi-v100-foto-spia-della-crossover-da-120-cv.html%3famp

The wait seems to be almost over Ahab. Fantastic! Exciting? Hmm, I dunno. The silhouette on this is a little erm, well maybe I should wait a bit... I refuse to say boring, but it does look a fairly conservative effort - & aren’t those forks appearing a mite spindly? But I suppose it’s not about the introductory packaging - this looks like it might just be the test mule with what appears to be a TT tank. Can’t wait to properly see/hear - view the torque specs - reverse spinning shaft setup, radiator etc. Looks like we’ll wait for the next wave... Needs... Guzzi Power!!

Yeah but... no, you’re not wrong Weegie, I too absolutely love the Guareschi Varano - it clearly shows a high water mark of what can be, should’ve been achieved for a factory LeMans sport bike. Trouble is, with the Griso model - whilst it initially caught my imagination on it’s launch - on reflection there truly was only one pic colour/angle which did that! On that one image alone I was first attracted - & then later on I had the opportunity for a 8v test ride... I actually really tried hard to convince myself it was more fun to ride than my V11 Scura R. I really did! But... it just wasn’t. Emotionally benign, lacking the raw engagement of the V11 for me by comparison. Just felt... somewhat fat & stubby really! Bars out like a Quota - too wide. Carc lays like some bulky sun-greyed Great Dane turd, a bit plasticky - more a quirky mashup of odd elements - rather than the aesthetic Marabese presentation of cohesive, balanced design clearly apparent in the V11. (only imo of course) Yes, that’s true. But time struggles to dim any of its freshness ie., G&B fairing is as equally modern as any Panagale! Still would interesting to see a face-off. Of course, I’d be happy with either kit! From factory? I be like Ahab...

Gorgeous... now that’s an upgrade kit fit for refining the V11 base! Wow - wouldn’t it be incredibly interesting to see it in action pitted against the Guareschi Carc kit GCorse Varano!! Pwhoarrr! Guzzi Power! Heart... or... Head? Excruciating!!

Good grief... I’ve just seen my ruby helmet!

Now... that’s a top box! 🤠

Twin Turbo V50 all done & finished final vid. 👍 Suggest watching from say, 13 minutes onwards if you’ve followed his preceding build vid’s. It’s been said it’s difficult & unrewarding attempting to get heron heads to naturally breathe... If flow don’t come easy - force it! 💪😅

https://m.facebook.com/mogutronics/?comment_id=Y29tbWVudDoyNTY1OTM2NTU4NTkzNjZfMzIxMDgyMTEyNzQzODUz Just came across this very new Italian site when searching for farkles for my Monza - most interesting item is the BreakerBooster. Bikes in vids all seem very stable running - happy owners. @Kiwi_Roy - please take a look maybe & feel free to give your impressions.

Sorry LP - the confident delivery of your supposition is admirably clear but it’s still as much of a good guess in identifying the hick “cause” as a blind man in a dark room looking for a cat that isn’t there. Not actually saying you’re wrong - just saying you haven’t found it.

YES PLEASE!👏 ...would absolutely love to hear the aural side effect one gets for their money. If it was somewhat akin to aural sex going hard thru the gears it might be a worthy accompaniment to a good set of pipes!

I know it’s not a V11... (someday someone will) But dammit - it’sa mental TWIN TURBO GUZZI!! 🤪

1700cc toy! 😂

Guessing the budget was fairly generous on this one..

(200 kb only sucks with these sorts of topics) My wife thinks I’m on another oil thread... 🥸 Now, do you reckon that’s about 5W30 weight? Yes Darling, coming... Phwoarrr! That’s one well lubed Italian Nevada right there!!

Not M7RR - they are now superseded by the 100% silica M9RR’s Better. Much!

Guys... don’t bother with the Angel GT’s - not because they aren’t good. They were actually what I was running previously but tyre technology just keeps improving...! Do yourself a favour and get yourself a set of Metzeler M9RR’s. They are the bomb! Awesome dry grip lean angles beautiful feel... 👍😎

Hey Bbennett One experience you should absolutely try first... Only fill your existing tank by 10 L consecutively for a minimum of 6 stops for gas. If you find you actually prefer that more than filling up 3 times... well then, you’re good to go so just go ahead and drop the hammer on the Benelli lookalike - seems a reasonable price. I like big tanks simply for the range aspect. Agree a lot of smaller tanks do look pretty good - but I’m yet to see a 21 L capacity tank that is much better looking than the V11’s - even those early versions that seem to have attached some sort of pouch on top for a sanitary pad.

...as per Jarno assume your ideal intended position!😆
