Nice, Moto Guzzi Motard... when I see it I'll believe it

[nudemetalz]

Guess they have to keep up with the Jones's. The Adventure/Motard/nana-off road bikes seem to be en vogue at present.

Yeah I know's what's ya's mean, it is a bit tiring.
Just a bit of a waiting game.
I have ben thinking the past few days as to if/what bike I would consider next, (most likely Guzz though) ???

Hows the v11 Nude'z?

[nudemetalz]

The V11 is going great, thanks Ghostie.
Have to replace the rear tyre so got that sorted. Taking it down to ChCh for the Roger Waters concert next weekend, so looking forward to the good blat away.

The new 8v Griso is making me want one!
For no other reason than it's better than the 'standard' one

I still love the one I have, but the grass is always greener on the new model.
Now I have the light can and a few other little things (like it starting to run in) it would be silly go race out and get one. Never been known for being sensible about these things..

Nice thread explaining the Guzzi life.
Can I just add another quirk/bonus with buying a new one?
They take ages to run in, and even at the 10,000 to 15,000km mark they are still coming into their own. Which is nice, you notice from time to time that the grunt is getting better and better.
I thought this quirk would have vanished by the time the Griso/Breva '3rd generation Guzzis' rolled out. But no, even though they are almost modern bikes, they still have that odd trait.
Cool eh?

[laRIKin]

Yeah you are right Dodgyiti, they are funny old bike that takes age's to run in and no two are 100% a like.

And Ghost_Bullet I do not think that I will be buying one of the new ones you have shown. They are not to our taste, but time is a funny thing, they may grow on us.

This is going rather, and a step back in time. And realy I dont care.
Anyways I was at that transport museum up at Paraparaumu a couple of weeks back on a flying visit, and I saw a pretty cool Indian.
I've always had a soft spot for the Indian, even before the Fastest movie came to be.

The one at this museum was a sure sight, that I look once, twice, three times... I thought Guzz' but no it is an Indian... they were a 750cc, and from around 1945, somthing of an experimental model with just a small number being made.

A few observations on the Norge,


I like the front end, and with the wavy discs and ABS sensor it still looks tidy. The riding position is very fixed, as in- your stuck in one place, comfortable enough.
You have to take off the bottom fairing panel to check the oil!
Guzzi quirks, gotta love 'em
The 'bars don't move up down or anywhere and are a cast type with a unique mounting so if they are not right for the rider it would be tricky to change them. I figure a person over 5'11" would be at home onboard, I felt stretched - hence I noticed how hard the bars and pegs would be to change.
I really like the guages and dash, in fact the whole fit and finish is great.
Not my cup of tea , I can see it as a good alternative to BMW R series, price wise it matches up well, and deliver much of what the Germans have to offer which is good for business.
Probably go down better in Europe than here though.

Certainly looks more intergrated than any other Guzzi out at the moment IMHO. Get rid of the cast handle bars though.

Edit- Where's the fucken centre stand!!!

But isn't the Stelvio pics just an artist's impression or is it "based" on what 'Guzzi have told them it's going to look like?

As Bonez says, surely it would have a centrestand !!

Its how all Guzzi's start out, a impresion becomes a wooden model, then when the interest flows in... 5 years later they pop out of the 12 man factory... cool aye

Thats how the Griso and MGS came about.

Wonder if in fact all our Guzzis are in fact wooden models in disguise?
