My hope is that Guzzi is working on a new mill for a new series of sport bikes; both naked and faired and will release it when ready. With all the money and resources needed to do something really new, its no surprise that they would take their time. They have updated the small block, replaced the tonti frame, and created an adv bike. I know they have Aprilia as a sport bike brand but it seems unlikely they would let Guzzi go without any sport offerings so it seems that would be next on the drawing board and I do expect whatever they come up with will be quite different from any past sport offerings. I hope I'm right.
Now if they would just supply a few more dealers.
Piaggio has simply paid the bills, but done very little to reinvigorate the brand
Didn't Aprilia go for broke when they purchased MG back in mid 2000's and that technology is in the current line up?
I am not worried about the race bike thing. Aprillia has that covered and if your market demands a dealer for ultra performing street bike a Guzzi dealer could consider just carrying both lines.
Something really new? I bet against that every time with Guzzi. I have one word; Harley. What do they do that's so cutting edge? New power plants per se? Let everyone else compete at the top hp market and keep on doing what you're doing seems to work just fine. In fact, it separates you from the others in the end. Is Harley unique? You bet they are and getting more so every day. For Guzzi to get back to their racing days they'd have to completely reinvent themselves and prove to the world they are racers. It's simply been too long since they're last race. They are essentially an unknown company to most, but pretty unique when people find out about them. Unique in an old fresh way of air-cooled V-twins. They won't be doing anything unpredictable anytime soon. Still waiting for the re-fresh of the sb like they did with the bb!!!!!!! Too much $$ for these MP bikes but cool to see what's possible with this lump.
All the V7 Sports, LeMans etc models were sport bikes improvised from the police or touring machines. The exotic leading edge stuff was all for GP racing.
Somebody brings up this tired subject every year or so and all the responses are the same. :beat_horse
