Paul Minnaert Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 On the guzzisti site full story, Whats more Marvic is going to produce wheels for guzzi again, might be interesting for v11 too.
V11UK Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Yes please - where do I send the cheque? 1420cc, yummy
Admin Jaap Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 no chicken strips on this bike! Power drifting?
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 .......and then I put the MGS engine in my Griso!!! This could be so much fun!!
gh67 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I want to like it...I really do.....but a Guzzi with a radiator just seems wrong. According to the website, the radiator in the pics is going to be replaced with an even larger one. Heck, that's why I don't own a S4R...ugly imho. That being said, it would still be fun as hell to ride.

That being said, it would still be fun has hell to ride. 67164[/snapback] Hello Guzzi's, "What the HELL is that!... Is that one of those Rice Rocket Pinko Comie Turboed Wang-Wang's???" "No Darrel, thats looks to be ah Honda CBX 500 (Silver-wing) with a big bore kit, yep". "Oh?" Sure I'd be happy to have the bike, then I'd proceed to Ebay. To sell the engine, and then stuff a GUZZI engine in there. Aren't Guzzi heads supposed to be big??? And w hats next, a chain drive! I've seen the water cooled "PIG/HOG" engine, that Moto Guzzi working on and itlooks a hell of alot better. I've always wanted a triple, maybe we could get this company to make a bolt on "Inline triple" for my Tonti frame chopper project. Why can't some one just make a "Head and Barrel kits" like they do for Harleys: S&S, Eagle, Van & Hines, Ect. Now that would be nice, looks like a Guzzi, sounds like a Guzzi and runs like a 999 Ducati. Now thats an idea! How hard would it be to make custom castings of lighter cases, barrels and reshaped & massaged peformance heads??? Lets get on it boys. We've got a job to do! Peace, Rubber Side Down, Jedione68
Guzzirider Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I have no problem with the watercooling- it looks like an ace bike. Guy
Paul Minnaert Posted November 13, 2005 Author Posted November 13, 2005 well, there are guzzis that have more power than a standard 999:-) don't need new cases for that. But this poject is alot like the Harkey kets you mention, engine case stays, power parts added, and in this case watercooling added too.
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I've always wanted a triple 67181[/snapback] How about a transverse triple!!! Like the Harley V 3 custom somebody built (can't find pictures).
Guest jedione68 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 How about a transverse triple!!! Like the Harley V 3 custom somebody built (can't find pictures). 67190[/snapback] Kind of like the Moto-C (Cynec what was his name?)??? The guy from Seattle, who's making a tranverse V 4. Been watching that one. Jedione

They are very much like those Harley Kits, and the new porting angels and reverse dome pistons have to be the way of the future. I wish it was still air-cooled though. The horse power graph really got my attention. Nice and steady, with more power than my v11 at 4.2K RPM. I stick with my "Looks wise" she a bit odd: Those smaller then usual valve covers and of corse the H20 cooler. But with numbers like that, I'll live with the oddities. Sorry about that Paul, I truely spoke out of turn. Peace, rubber side down, Jedione P.S. The G.B. Pro Thunder arrived, so I'll be asking ya all kinds of "4" Valve questions in the near future.
staedtler Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 How much y'all think that kit goes for? that sucker is winking at me...
PEPPERONI BROS. Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 How about a transverse triple!!! Like the Harley V 3 custom somebody built (can't find pictures). 67190[/snapback] %That would be the late Jim Fueling's motor, I've thought about that one too, but where would you put the camshaft?
felix42o Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Kind of like the Moto-C (Cynec what was his name?)???The guy from Seattle, who's making a tranverse V 4. Been watching that one. Jedione 67195[/snapback] Jim Fueling, if memory serves, built that W3 for awhile-HP was up around 150 I think.
