The Big Bore Griso is old news around here - only drawback is the price.

 

Guzzi going to a 1400cc cruiser & tourer? Entirely plausible: stroking the new bigger bore 1200 2v motor makes sense, esp. for a cruiser: Harley sets the pace there, & if their BTs are 1388cc [or whatever they've gone to lately], then it just makes sense to compete on a level playing field. Since the pushrod valve actuation sets a redline limit anyway, it doesn't make too much sense for Guzzi to go w/ a short-stroke design, vs. Ducati & their desmo' valve train. To paraphrase: "Stroke them, Centuwion! Stroke them gweatly!"

 

The new QV motor, fortunately, will respond to bigger bores/shorter strokes in a better fashion, so there's hope for a revvy/sporty new LeMans yet! Ironically, offering the Stelvio w/ the QV is kind of counter-intuitive, since a big trailie needs torque more than top end, but whatever!

that bike is "ugly"

 

who thinks so?

 

/ am I normal? In 21 year age I prefer classic desing that these new hyper-trooper-super-machines?

Not the 2v.

They say it's 1400 8v, to use alongside the current 1200 8v, in 'a selection' of new models (including a cruiser and a tourer).

 

As for Stelvio, Jaap's Tiger etc:

they talk of new proper off-road Tiger Adventurer, the new Yam Tenere 1200 super-trailie, KTM 1190 Adventure, Aprilia 1200 trailie. Hold onto your wallets, adventure-sporties.
