I changed my Centauro engine to chain cam drive, because I didn't want to risk exploding gears.

In Amsterdam people are complaining about the 'trolley case terror'.

We better watch out... Guzzi will be a mainstream brand

The Ohlins forks will fit the original triple clamps too. Been there, done that

Carefully watching this thread...

A large proportion? We have about 50.000 farmers in NL, and maybe 200 have sold their farm. Most of them have no successor and they sold their farm voluntarily and for good money. So no, I don't think we have a lot of newbie bikers here that are former farmers. Why the increase? My guess is road congestion and parking fees.

MG sales in NL up to now

Checked the bike sales in NL for 2024: First quarter: Around a 25% increase! Top seller is not surprisingly the BMW R1300GS. Bestselling brand: Kawasaki.

And he deserves it!

*drool Who wants to buy my 1200 Sport

Wow! € 14900,- that's more than a new one cost over 20 years ago

Nessun problema! 😊

😅 I came to this thread to post this exact same picture!

Wow! That's some incentive! But as I explained to Docc in a PM; it's a bit tricky to plan a trip to the States this far ahead. And when I'm there I'd like to extend my vacation a bit to explore the SE of the US.

This is how it looks now. A bit too 'Italian' for my taste. It's for sale btw: https://iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/2002-ghezzi-brian-sport-monza/

This picture This picture was taken over 10 years ago. The bike is gone, and so is the pretty neighbour.

Good on you! Probably hard to imagine, but there is a life outside the collective of Guzzi individuals. Good luck with your new role as the hired help! And don't be a stranger here.

As far as I can remember, the turn signals are all te same throughout the years/models. On the LeMans the front stalks are somewhat longer, but that's because of an extender. (or was it the other way around?) And if I recall correctly some models have clear lenses with an orange bulb?

Recently discovered this band. In the 90's, they completely got past me.

My guess is that there won't be a 'sporty' version with this engine. I don't know how it is in the US, but sportsbikes don't sell that well anymore. Guzzi now has the V7 retro series, a sportstourer V100 and the new Stelvio. I think they will keep the V85TT for now, because the 850 class is interesting in Italy. I wouldn't be surprised if they come up with a 850 Stelvio, based on the V100.

Just checked. Return ticket to Nashville is about € 800,- Doable
