Ballacraine Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Do you think it's a pig? I quite like it in red, but the silencer.... maybe it will need an Akropovic or something, especially if there is a stupid cat in there. 59668[/snapback] Offer it a saucer of milk & it may come out! Nige.
al_roethlisberger Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I have to admit that it is growing on me .... certainly more than the Breva <_> I kinda like that blue, and I don't really normally care for that color al
tikkanen Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Honda "Fitta" is called Honda "Jazz" in Sweden (and Norway) because "fitta" is not word you want to use in a marketing unless you are a pimp 59670[/snapback] yup, that's not the right name for a bike in Sweden, trust me! (and Göran) Søren
Ballacraine Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 oh crap, i didn't know that. And there's me selling off my assets in preparation httpebay sale 59679[/snapback] Yes, I have that in my watch list! Nige.
P3GA Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Damn think looks about 8' long; I think I'm going to have to see one for real before passing judgement.... Got to give Guzzi credit, the video was great The blue is growing on me, don't know about the yellow, but would gladly take the model in whichever color she happened to be attired in....

Guest Nogbad Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I didn't get any sound when I played the video! The can has to go. The rest of the pipes are nice, I like the way they come round to one side of the engine. But what is that weird louvre thing on the side of the engine. Looks like some cheap grille from an air conditioner.

It's taken me this long to appriciate the centaro and then some colours are way better than others 3 - allready answered Got sound now. Turned the volume up Not sure if it was there all along or not Edited September 13, 2005 by Martin Barrett
Guest Nogbad Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I'm now not even thinking about a change of bike until I have ridden the Griso. (So MG must have something right)
Ballacraine Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I agree about the downpipes.....Very sexy! Then they have to connect it to that utter abomination! I prefer the very early prototype myself TBH. Not quite as much 'nice' Breva...If you follow! Nige.
Guest Nogbad Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Then they have to connect it to that utter abomination! Nige. 59806[/snapback] It has to go. There is NOTHING good about that can. Especially the end. However, there are uglier cans about. The 05 Gixxer thou and the Yam MT01 for starters, so Guzzi doesn't get the ugliest can on a new bike award yet.

I had a pair of Harley shotgun 'mufflers' on a Tiger 750 once upon a time. They looked great and sounded well too. I think one of them would look well on that system. Nige.

Guest Nogbad Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I was right! 59821[/snapback] I know. It's gross. Whatever happened at Suzuki I will never know. Maybe they did the whole design, had 50p left and then someone came in an reminded them they had to fit the catalyser in there somewhere. I don't know, but its like putting a warty toad on the Mona Lisa's head. You have to agree, that compared with the Gixxer thou, the Guzzi guy responsible for the Griso's end can only deserves a small cactus up the nether regions, whereas that abomination of a Jap silencer deserves the designer to be taken out and ritually disembowelled.
