rocker59 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 the Griso handles so much better, nevermind the wheelbase: you flick it through the bends as you like it, as it was a light 250 cc... G. I guess I need to demo a Griso sometime...
raz Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 What is that box below the RH barrel? An oil cooler?

Skeeve Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 What is that box below the RH barrel? An oil cooler? It's the thermoplastic beauty cover/ductwork over the oil-cooler. Not the brightest engineering choice Guzzi's ever made [a glass-reinforced thermoset plastic would have been a FAR better choice], but hey, they wanted to sell the bling-factor CF pretty-piece, which would be harder to do if all the original stock units didn't melt & turn ugly... Ride on!
antonio carroccio Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 For the records: Alessio Sissi will be the engeneer who has projected the new engine 8v Abbiamo chiesto all'ingegner Sissi che sviluppi futuri avrà il Quattrovalvole e, soprattutto, che impiego nella gamma di Moto Guzzi. Ecco la sua risposta: "Il 1.200 8V è davvero un nuovo progetto, abbiamo ora un motore leggero e performante. Il più potente mai uscito dagli stabilimenti di Mandello per un uso stradale (most powerful engine ever produced in Mandello) . Il suo impiego sull'Enduro Stelvio che presenteremo a Milano, è certo (the apply on the Stelvio, which we will present in Milan, is for sure). Tra l'altro il nuovo basamento permette di crescere con la cilindrata". La concorrenza, in particolare tedesca, è avvisata. Yes, there will be a new Stelvio with 8v engine
Paul Minnaert Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 the same Alessio tells us: The distribution camshaft in head light and is refined, could calmly - engineer Alessio Sissi says to us, in charge of this plan - exceed the limit of 8.500 turns tax from the limiter. and for the debate if to call it 4v or 8v: Griso 1200 8V, this the correct denomination of the motion. In Guzzi house they call it only “Quattrovalvole familily”, like the number of the valves for cylinder.
DeBenGuzzi Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 The engine is smooth and no, you won't find yourself thinking about having some more power; there is all the power you need to make it raise its front in third gear if you want... What are you smoking, I want some , raise the wheel in third gear? are you mad. Maybe unload the forks but I bet it has a lil trouble finding that third gear wheelie for a long wheel base, heavy, sport-touring at best position, don't get my wrong I Luv the Griso but the seating position left me more than unimpressed for my 6'2"&half frame it felt like the wrost of both worlds akward leg postion and stretched out arms I would need to ride it to see if it feels better at speed. I'll give you first gear but third is just wishful thinking
Richard Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 ....This is quite an evolution to the already tuned 1200 cc engine that now puts out 110 CV at 9,500 rpm with maximum torque of 11 kgm..... Isn't this referring to the existing 1200cc engine that the MGS-01 uses, rather than the new engine...?
Paul Minnaert Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 well the 9500 was given last year at the introduction in milan. Now we know it only needs 7500 rpm to reach 110hp
Guest goffredo Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 What are you smoking, I want some , raise the wheel in third gear? are you mad. Next time in Mandello, just ask for a demo ride with Cecco Micheli and see for yourself! G. PS: he does wheelies with Norge and Cali as well... I'll give you first gear but third is just wishful thinking BTW: My V11 Sport raises its front in first and second gear with no need to burn the clutch. And it is absolutely standard, no tuning whatsoever. G.
grossohc Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 MCN in the uk has ridden the 8v, " a charging rhino" " almost as if a turbo chimes in" and 140mph potential. Might have to buy the rag tomorrow to read the whole thing Gary
Skeeve Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Tech specs for the new 8v: tech specs Get a load of the valve overlap! Must be running pretty dang lean w/ all the overlap to still meet E3 regs; I imagine there's a lot of power to be found once uncorked & fuel matched to best power vs. least pollution...

Must be running pretty dang lean w/ all the overlap to still meet E3 regs; I imagine there's a lot of power to be found once uncorked & fuel matched to best power vs. least pollution... And with a 60 thou setting clearance! God's teeth! Pete
Greg Field Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I think I need one. Anyone want my Billy Bob?
slug Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I think I need one. Anyone want my Billy Bob? I'll trade you a well broken-in '03 V11 Sport for Billy Bob.
