Alleged V10 Le Mans

[audiomick]

I just found this on the Tube. Does anyone happen to know who is behind it? I can't imagine, really, that it is official. Looks nice, though.

It's a concept drawing/cgi thing. I suspect it's a fishing exercise commissioned by Guzzi to test public reaction. Run it up the flag pole and see who salutes before they commit to creating a prototype.

It seems typical AI clickbait.

Has to be sanctioned by Guzzi though surely. With all the "Guzzi" mentions and the fact their lawyers try shutting down anyone that uses the name and logo unless it's them or sanctioned by them then the factory must have some involvement.

Or they haven't got "caught" yet. 

Good point though, it might indeed be a commisioned "public opinion test".

I found the home page of the channel. Looks to be pretty much bullshit, unfortunately.

Since ChatGPT got out, YouTube is rife with those A.I. generated content, complete with robot voice. I have not really dug into it, but from what I have been told by people with access to subscription versions, you can create stuff without much effort.

2025 Le Mans unveilled does not make any sense, because Guzzi would have unveilled it at EICMA 2024, if it had been in the works.

The adventure bikes segment is what really works in Europe. I maybe wrong, but I don't see a V100 Le Mans having much traction. Guzzi's best seller was the V7 and V85TT.

I don't know how the Mandello and Stelvio are fairing, but out of the two, I would bet the Stelvio is the one.

I looked at the photos, and it is easy to tell they are vector editing works. I have learned a lot when designing the forum's logo to make a patch.

Those will remain art projections or exercises; I may be wrong, but I don't see the current Guzzi market ready for a V100 base Le Mans. Of course, I base my opinion of what I see in Texas, which is certainly not a reflexion of the rest of the USA.

My frequent travels to France showed that commuters main staple are scooters, or smaller cubed bikes, as required to go through traffic. The bread and butter of Guzzi is its V7 line, or so it seems. Their best seller is the V85TT.

I am curious to see how the new V7 Sport will fare. I would have possibly been interested, if they had kept analogical instruments rather than another TFT screen.

When I posted that, I had that suspicion, but didn't find it with a quick search on his page. The picture has since turned up on the German forum, and it seems it is indeed one of his designs.

Bike 3 and 4 on his page, both worlds, NICE.

Cheers Tom.
