What I noticed is that the Griso is shown as a 2018 model (USA) - are they just using up some left-over CARC components with a new label, in a market where the old engine still meets the regs? Inquiring minds want to know...

The existing Griso model isn't Euro 4 compliant hence it can be sold in the US but not in Europe.  It's in the works...

I like the V7 Carbon with limited production numbered to 1921.  I like it when they use that marketing strategy.

I love them all some more than others, but its more like H-D with 85 models with such subtle and indistinguishable differences and put a name to it and call it a new model.

I stopped in one of our Michigan dealers and put myself on a waiting list for the V85 (no info at all...sales guy had no idea what I was talking about)....the sales dept had hundreds of bikes in the show room...hundreds of quads and snow machines...I asked about MG and we had to walk out back to a stock building to see the 3 bikes they did have...a Stornello, California 1400 and a V7 Classic.

Anyone know of a dealer that promotes the bikes in the Midwest?

Thanks for the post :)

Cadre even has a Guzzi billboard on Fields-Ertel road just north of 275.

I've never seen that before.

I just bought my first Guzzi from Enzo @ Cadre...  first class experience, super guy, I’d recommend them to anyone!!

I like the slim metal mudguards on the ‘18’s (previously on the Stornello and Anniversario).  I may fit a set to my Special. I think they look more elegant, and clean up/lighten (visually) the rear.

This V85, looking at the wheels, I'm guessing inner tubes, or is that rim still tubeless?  Hopefully tubeless.

And, where are the spark plugs hidden?  Would that be a large cover over the plugs, completely covering the valve cover as well?

I'm liking this bike.  This could be what I'd hoped my old 650 VStrom would have been.  Slightly more engine but under 1000cc, and no chain drive.

Looks like the Alpina tubeless spoke wheels that's on the current Griso model. For comparison, here's a close up of the front wheel on my 16 Griso.

That XN85's a cutie.

Are they actually going to sell that in the U.S.?

The Milano spins my wheels. Pity I don't have a rich rellie ready tom pop his clogs.

The V85 concept sounds interesting. Will be interested if it ever sees the light of day.

I'm looking at chrome 2013 V7 Racers.  None of the line up has my interest.  Maybe the red Eldo but not at the full bore retail price.  :shocked:

There is a new (2016 model) red Eldo for sale in Vegas for $11K

Holy cripes! That’s 1/3 off the regular price. It really does pay to hold off making a purchase sometimes.

I wonder if Tom owns it yet?!

Cool!

Don't the V7 bikes account for at least 50% of Moto Guzzi's sales? (I am not sure if that is by units or by revenue.) If so, they are wise to focus on that line.


Probably because older guys like me need lighter bikes now than in their past.  :smiley:

So when is Guzzi gonna put the 2018's on their website?   It seems every other manufacturer has their 2018 lineup long since added to their respective websites.
