Moto Guzzi

[Paul in NZ]

Funny thing. Mrs H has taken an interest in the new Guzzi Nevada. Maybe it's to do with her concussion...

Maybe? But it's a lot nicer than the old one and now has EFI and (hopefully) the new gear box.

ok ... I think I am looking for another bike .... been thinkng about a VMax to go with my VF, , but seems hard to get a new one - wondering about a Guzzi (had an 850 Le Mans a long time ago, and loved it!), but the hp rating isnt that high on the Guzzi ... and so I am wondering whether for the slow type riding I do, whether it will ever matter?

so ... has anyone ridden the 102 bhp version of the 1100 ? ... (and yes, I've been looking at the Aprilla as well, and wondering whether 120 hp is enough ?)

It would be nice if someone made a list of the power and torque ratings of the larger bikes .... plus weight .

hello bud.the 1100 and 1000 are great tourers and are a resonable sports bike that will sit on 160kms all day if you want to but lack that instance squirt unlike the aprilia.but haveing said that,ive been rideing with alot of gsxr 1000;s lattley and man they make my bike look so slow.but only on the straights mind you.at the end of the day it personal preferance but the guzzies go well and go for ever if they are serviced when required.hope this helped bud

Yes it does have the new gearbox. I've read a couple of RAVING reviews for the damn thing. I mean lovely lump of sculpted Italian metal.

Well the HP may not be very high, but for some reason the old tubs still keep up..... the T5 (850 with small carbs) in the pic 2 up I might add was on my ass through the weka pass last w/e...................... so HP dont mean shit at the end of the day
