A new Millepercento sport bike @ eicma

[RHIP]

Lovely bike, but I can't tell if that's the air filter or an oil cooler under the seat and designed to be a rear fender. Either way, it's going to get a lot of crud on it if this bike is ridden in the rain.

I think that its very well done. Is that a radiator mounted under the tailpiece? If that is a liquid cooled 120 plus hp Guzzi with a modern state of the art suspension and electronics I have to say that I'm fascinated with it. To think what it would be like to climb off my v11 & get on that thing for a ride..

Well if that is a radiator under there its a very pretty design, but I wonder how hot that would make your ass in traffic on a summer day? I suppose there are lots of good insulating materials that could be used to help that problem. If thats where the next generation of Guzzi is heading I think they will start to prosper. Imo that is as good looking a bike as I have ever seen...even better than the mgs01.

I don't think so: isn't it based on the new QV engine? That space is too small for an effective radiator; it's the oil cooler, if I don't miss my guess. Which makes sense, really: the faster you're moving, the greater the vacuum effect to pull air thru the cooler, and the engine really only needs the cooler when working hard pushing the bike at speed. At idle or noodling along in traffic, the heat will mostly go out via the cylinders, where it's less felt by the rider.

 

Blame it on John Britten, it was his idea...

Very nice.Doesn't have the beautiful lines of the MGS, more Z1000 than Italian bodywork ,but very nice.

A radiator next to the rear wheel and the debris it kicks up is asking for trouble,

My guess is it'll be 30K+ US$.Might as well buy an MGS in that price range

well if you got the bank to buy one I figure you can pay a little bit more and have a rear hugger fabricated out of CF, would be worth it.
