helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 How come Carl puts 2 pictures on the Wild Guzzi forum and only one here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 How come Carl puts 2 pictures on the Wild Guzzi forum and only one here? Oh, very well. I'm not in that second photo taken by Todden Haven, but I'll go add it into the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 And, so, if Guzzi twins have loop frames, Tonti frames and spine frames then what are these new frames? And do Grisos have the same frame as the Breva/Norge? Yes, and all the best to Carl and this new ride. Beware of late nights mapping itselectrical system . . .

With the built in GPS, he can map it in seconds Interesting comparison photos of the Breva/Norge frame and the Griso Frame, here: http://socal-guzzi.com/PHPBB/viewtopic.php...19&start=15 Photos by RacerX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 No GPS on USA models. The frames aren't the same. No good apellations have surfaced thus far such as "loop frame", "Tonti", "spine frame" and so forth. Nothing comes to mind for me when I look at the new frames either except they look really stout. However, the current Brevas, Grisos, Norge and what have you typically have the VIN beginning with ZGULS or ZGULP. That could be twisted into "Sea Gulls" and "Big Gulp" if you're willing to make that stretch. GuzziTech Registry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 No GPS on USA models. GuzziTech Registry The factory GPS specified for UK Norges looks really expensive- as do most of the other accessories like heated grips. Will be much cheaper to fit other aftermarket options than go with the official stuff. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda sounds Italian, and the frame looks like a mix between the two. Or what is the Italian word for "stout". I agree, it does look rather stout. Wonder how much it weighs. The Norge has the best integrated look of tank and frame. Still more bulbous than I prefer, but looks o.k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard100t Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I got the chance to see a Norge today at the Ohio Guzzi breakfast. While I wasnt impressed by the photos online & in magazines the actual bike in the flesh was pretty impressive. I thought it looked better than anything BMW has or any other touring style bike for that matter. Fit & finish were very high & the little details were impressive. Even the air nozzles on the tires are angled so that you can check the pressure with ease. The lower fairing is way cool & the side panels have chrome inserts that give it a sophisticated look. I seen the silver one & it is good, now I'd love to see one in black If all Guzzi's new bikes are this cool they are back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA lists 10 accessories for the Breva 1100 (Norges aren't listed yet but the additional stuff should be identical to the Breva 1100 except the GPS unit) while the European market lists 15 accessories.

Paul Minnaert Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Well Carl, you did buy it without seeing it in flesh before the buy? But the 5 accessories you are missing are mounted standard, or not suitable for Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeve Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 No good apellations have surfaced thus far such as "loop frame", "Tonti", "spine frame" and so forth. Utter nonsense. The Griso [at least; still haven't seen a pic of the Breva frame] is a Quotard, as in derivative of the semi-perimeter frame from the Quota 1100es. You could also call it a "Dr. John" frame, since it was his design. The spine frame he lifted from Tony Foale, so it would be correct to call all the Quotards "Dr. Johns..." a la' the way "Tontis" are used for the LM1-V models (& others.)
