mdude Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Got a very swift answer on perfect english from Rossopuro regarding the gorgeous Alpina wheels. Still no news about availability, but Alpina has got huge orders from KTM, Honda and Ducati among others and struggle to keep up. Rossopuro figured the price would be 1800-2000 euro for a set. And thats not too bad. They're now on my list... HTMoto can provide another spoked set of wheels on request, but not tubeless.
dlaing Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Ahhhhhem I guess great minds are in synch, but not perfect synch http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?...ic=8727&hl=
big J Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Fark!! Two grand for a pair of wheels?? You could buy another Guzzi for that.
v50man Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Fark!! Two grand for a pair of wheels?? You could buy another Guzzi for that. I'm with BIG J on that...
wheelsucker Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 got a link to a picture of the wheels?? I looked on the website and couldn't find a picture. Does anyone know what the "cardan" bar does??
Alex-Corsa Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I'm with BIG J on that... Me too Besides if KTM, Honda and Ducati are going to have them , then is doesn't belong to a Guzzi' unique character..
Skeeve Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Does anyone know what the "cardan" bar does?? Unless I miss my guess, it's that funny draw-out lump of steel that connects the gearbox with the rear drive hub, sometimes called "a driveshaft w/ 2 universal joints innit.."
mdude Posted August 24, 2006 Author Posted August 24, 2006 Me too Besides if KTM, Honda and Ducati are going to have them , then is doesn't belong to a Guzzi' unique character.. so. when did classic spoked wheels become a unique Guzzi feature? Or in opposition to the "unique Guzzi character"? just wondering. yeah, expensive. but not in comparison with other alternatives.
Dan M Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 got a link to a picture of the wheels?? I looked on the website and couldn't find a picture. Does anyone know what the "cardan" bar does?? The cardan bar is above the driveshaft running from the frame to the differential. It's purpose it to hold the angle of the differential constant in relation to the driveshaft during suspension movement.

I wonder which color would look best on my Nero Corsa ?
orangeokie Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Great news !!! I wonder which color would look best on my Nero Corsa ? I'm leaning toward either red, grey, or gold for my Rosso Corsa.
DeBenGuzzi Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I'm leaning toward either red, grey, or gold for my Rosso Corsa. I'd LOVE a set of these, but if its true they're $2800 US dollars I could almost buy a bone stock V11 for a lil but more, it only seems worth it if I had the money to not care about the price. They do look super nice tho.
badmotogoozer Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Fak! $3K for a set of wheels that are heavier than stock?? May as well buy a Harley if you're going that road. Not fer this cowboy. Rj
