What possiible reason could there be for keeping the Guzzi V configuration when adding water cooling? I think it's utterly retarded. Design a more amenable engine configuration, and really have something. That's just an opinion, though

2 Valves RULE!

Water cooling makes a lot more sense (IMHO) than Guzzi's move to quatrovalvole.

Better emissions and better durability, but I'd like see a more creative radiator design enhancing the V Twin rather than blocking the natural cooling design of Guzzi twin. Dual radiators under the jugs or maybe a radiator between the jugs with air flowing clear through and out into the rear fender area. A perimeter frame could help that happen.

Being a retard I'd have to say tradition and the fact that it works well with shaft drive :grin: . Lets face it, if we mere mortals were to ride bikes based on their true abilities we'd all be riding VTR Hondas! :not::grin::grin::grin:

Not reason, reasons:

1. sound

2. feel

3. to a lesser extent, until it becomes the norm, appearance.

 

Amenable in what sense? Form? Power output? Exhaust noise?

Add longitudinal crank orientation. Keeps the big girl inordinately light on her feet ... for ... ahh ... for a big girl.
