Orson Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 So, I got a copy of SoloMoto, the Spanish motorcycle magazine... They were talking about 2008 models and talked about the expected Moto Guzzi Stelvio... but they also mentioned, "We still await a new Moto Guzzi sport model named the "Monza" after the 500cc Moto Guzzi model of the 1980s". They know something we don't know?
dlaing Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Interesting... For 2008 they list Stelvio, 8V and Monza http://www2.solomoto.es/noticia.asp?ref=10092 Need more info
coz1100 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 What? The new 8V isn't enough? Whats Guzzi tryin to do, take all my money? Ciao Z
rocker59 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Could it be a sporty bike based on the 750 Nevada/750 Breva chassis ??? Hmmm...

They know something we don't know? Imagine a 1200 Sport with the new 4V engine. Half fairing, different tail, aggressive look (but the same Breva tank). Definetely more a sport tourer (such as the V11 Le Mans) rather than supersport. This message will self destroy in 9, 8, 7.... G.
Paul Minnaert Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 well, we once had this picture, http://www.mgcn.nl/dameijer/Moto-Guzzi-Monza-1
rocker59 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 well, we once had this picture, http://www.mgcn.nl/dameijer/Moto-Guzzi-Monza-1 kinda cool... looks to have the same dipstick access as the Norge... I like the concept and the "Tenni Green" paint...
tikkanen Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Agree to that, it would be nice if MG launched such a model. With all due respect to the 1200 Sport I still feel there's a gap that needs to be filled out after they ditched the V11. The greenie could do that trick.... Søren

IMO the Breva tank is seriously ugly with those dumb chrome bumpers. The rest of your Monza description sounds great to me
1100sport Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 A french bike webmagazine (motostation) has relayed the same info about the 1200 sport benefiting from the new 8V engine later in the year (meaning next year in Guzzi language ;-)) From a technical point of view, would it be difficult to fit the new engine in the MGS ? Just curious...
Paul Minnaert Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 From a technical point of view, would it be difficult to fit the new engine in the MGS ? Just curious... Two things I can think of: 1. front engine cover has to be old style with alternator in front, I don't know if the crank has to changed for that. 2. the two chain tunnels might be where the spine frame is, i don't know how close it is there, might be no problem. 3. get me such an engine, I will build it in a daytona RS, so we know
Van Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 kinda cool... I like the concept and the "Tenni Green" paint... Yep, there is just that certain something SPECIAL about " That Tenni green".... Cheers Van
1100sport Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks for the answer Paul. As for your point n°3, I have no doubt that you would succeed in that enterprise !

antonio carroccio Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 well, we once had this picture, http://www.mgcn.nl/dameijer/Moto-Guzzi-Monza-1 .. do we need to say something about this proto? <_>Let's start with the 'color"! It is not even "British Racing Green"
dlaing Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 .. do we need to say something about this proto? <_>Let's start with the 'color"! It is not even "British Racing Green" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_racing_green RGB: (0, 66, 37) RGB: (0, 51, 0) RGB: (2, 28, 19) RGB: (12, 25, 17) RGB: (27, 77, 62) Too bad the Monza picture disappeared. On the Tenni I show an overall lighter color with more red that neutralizes the green. The RGB numbers are around R80, G100, B80 lighting of course throws the readings off. Some readings on a V8 Guzzi show something more like 100, 130, 100 Some readings on a V7 Sport about 100, 130, 5 For more accurate numbers you would have to get all the bikes under the same lighting
