Where is it?

[Admin Jaap]

On the dutch forum someone noticed the new Griso 8 valve is completely removed from the official MG website... I'm afraid the new engine will not come soon.

Special combined operations team sent to look for 8V griso.

It's gone, Jaap!

 

bye bye

 

We still have the gorgeous V11 LeMans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they want to sell more of the 4 valvers they have in stock rather than have customers hold off on their purchase while waiting for the 8 valve version?

It's gone! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

WTF is going on? Was it bollocks all along? Or just a change of heart?

I'd like to know too!

Maybe there is a simple explanation and it may reappear as "scheduled for 2008" or something.

 

The other possibility is that the motor simply does not exist- maybe they just remodelled the exterior of a regular motor and made us think it was special.

 

I can't remember seeing any 3d diagrams or cutaways showing the internals.

From what I've heard the engine was a wooden mock up.

As a long time lover of Moto Guzzi, and an admirer of their sporting and racing pedigree, I have been hoping in vain for years for the company to make a proper sports bike.

 

I must now face facts- it is not going to happen- they will knock out cruisers / tourers and roadsters with basically the same old motor which is getting less exciting with each wave of emissions legislation.

 

I'll keep my V11, and when I get older I may want a Breva to potter about Europe on every summer, but for sporty bikes I will stay with Ducati.

As far as I"m concerned I have made the right decision and chose to "invest" some money saved for a "maybe new Guzzi" on a timeless piece, (yes Antonio I did it , life is here and now , y"know ?not in some f****ng waiting list) ,sick and tired waiting.

And I"m happy I did so,-no more waiting worries for so called MGS1s -2's 3"s ...you name it.

I don't like to be used as a customer or being on a "dreaming waiting list", "P**s off I said and moved on!!. They can shove their emissions up their....

 

As far a bikes concerned I could buy a Sport corsa anytime, I know it , I can tune it and the riding feel is the best I've ever have experienced NO I don"t need any other and that's finnal.

So be my guest pal be my guest

I hope you do , since you had it you know what you are missing .I remember collecting as many pics as I could before buying mine and I had one of yours with the luggage accesory at the back, used to sit on my chair and looking them for hours till I had bought one for myself.

 

And now with my chips around you won"t have a tunning problem either....hehehehe. Yeah I was sick and tired about all the crap chips that was out on the market, I wonder how people where buying these stuff....anyways.
