Moto Guzzi 2007 models

Pretty crappy photos alright. Reminds me a lot of the BMW R1200GS but with road tyres.

What a shame it doesn't look like this http://www.raptorsandrockets.com/ima...elvio_1200.jpg

Yo, you are right about that, in some ways, though maybe with higher res pics may change the impression, though I think I like the fact it dont have that brevaish tank shape...

BTW
I sold my Grizzler, got made a nice offer on it out of the blue and out the door she went!

Now I am trying out to be PaulinNZ's doppleganger as I just bought a Trumpie!!
Oh the shame! Somebody shoot me
(or at least take my Visa off me)

Alrighties,.....where's my .303 !!!!
You sold the Guzzi for a Trumpy ? (no offence to Trumpy owners).
Grrrr....
Care to join in, Lemans, SDU, Paul in NZ, Ghost Bullet or even (potentially) Jim2 ??

I think I've made my point..

Resistance is futile, you will be re assimilated.

Nice bike though.

My next bike will be a Griso I think, although the Missus told me when I bought the V11 that I have to have it for at least 5 years.

Whats the problem! You can keep the V11 for her to ride over the next 5 years & get the Griso for you to ride

I'll borrow your visa- while you repent!
at least you still have the lemon & you didn't go to the dark side.

Mate was up at the old Solway for Saturday night and went round the shops at Masterton, they have the Guzzi's there and peeking through the windows they are surely one of the most incredible bikes I have seen. They had the Grisso and the Norge and a nice 750. To be honest I would have one tomorrow if I had the dosh, very very classy.

spd:-)

Funny that Steve... I did the exact same thing. Was very taken by the Norge.
Lovely! Wonder what it costs?

Aww I can't help my pity for ugly ducklings, especially noisy yellow ones.
The Griso was a lot of money tied up (for me) and the little Trumpie does the around town hack job quite nicely, plus it even has lower kms than the Griso, albiet 3 owners but.
Maybe in 5 years I can get a low km Griso for under 10. There is no race history or limited edition/production numbers so they will not be going up in value like some other models (1100 Sport, Daytona, Mk1 & 2 Lemans, 500 singles etc) and with the new Griso 8v and 1200 Sport, the Breva and Griso are now 'Base Models' anyway.

I am the guy who waited 10 years to get a Daytona from $26k new for $9k with all the fruit. Good things come to those who wait...And save some pennies.

Well here are some better pictures of this potential offering.

No sir... I dont like it
but maybe it will grow on me.

Nah, does nothing for me either. To over styled, like it's trying too hard to be special. Guzzi excell at understatement, and this 'aint.

Well here are some better pictures of this potential offering.

The headlights don't look right...the Breva like tank...the muffler (what is it with Guzzi and big arse mufflers?), otherwise I like it.

Seems to be aimed at the BMW R1200GS (I would imagine the pricing is going to be up there as well). Appears to have a 19" front wheel. But the plastic sump guard is not so good nor is the lack of hand guards.

[nudemetalz]

So, the Stelvio is definitely hitting production ?
Reckon they need to do a "Long Way 'Round" or a Paris-Dakar to prove it's strength for good sales.

[Ghost_Bullet]

I saw 850 Griso in at Eric Wood's tonight when pickin mine up after the 10k service.
It was black, though not sure if I like the grey paint on the engine-trans.
They are going for 21995.00.

[nudemetalz]

What is the benefit of the 850 over the 1100, apart from about 4K price difference?
Aren't the the same , engine size aside?

[Ghost_Bullet]

Well personally I would not want one, I dont like all the grey, and it's 227kg, where the 1100 is 227kg, mmm strange, it is missing the oil cooler! what is Guzzi saying? Maybe they have added ballast!!!

I would consider the 8v Griso if it ever comes, though it would have to look or have something special about it more than just the engine. And of course spousal approval.

[nudemetalz]

Those December pics released of the 8V Griso make it damn near identical so I see what you're saying.
Perhaps carbon-fibres bits on it, like guards and a small Monster-type screen on it.
Reckon it'd look the bees-knees then and help distingush away from the baseline 4V model.
