It's almost October and I have yet to see anything that looks like something new to be coming out the doors of the little city by the lake!

Word in the back alleys of Mandelo de Lario, is something to fill the gap between the v7, and 1200/1400 big blocks.   Is there something coming to take the torch from the soon to be retired Griso?   I wan't to see some pics, but so far the lid seems to be on very tight.

They have the wall. I think that helps. The Big Show in November should be interesting.

One hot trend is road based adventure bikes.  The Multistrada or the BMW 1000XR.
A Stelvio with 17" wheels and shorter suspension might make it.

I agree Mike. I think a 400 lb. 900cc cross between a Stelvio anda Norge would be a Homerun.

some news:

http://www.laprovinciadilecco.it/stories/Cronaca/la-guzzi-lavora-ad-una-nuova-moto_1142994_11/

"What displacement will the new model have? According to some the cubic volume will be of 850 cc,   a little more than the V7, which will continue in production, considering that it is Guzzi's best selling model.

The new engine under construction on assembly lines should have an engine with four valves therefore decidedly more powerful..."

A Bellagio chassis with V7-type bodywork has been my dream for the past couple years.

However, the reports are leaning more toward a bigger engine for the existing V7 chassis.

Not 'something like this,' but this bike exactly.  I know I'll hear that 'that damned two valve ain't coming back,'  but this bike, with either an 1100 or 1200 (or even the short stroke Bellagio engine) would do it for me.  Much as I love my 1200 Sport, I'd sacrifice it to pick up a bike exactly like the one in this pic.

No you won't. You'll buy it and sell it 6 months later when you realize that your 1200 sport gets all the attention.

I don't think so.  I'm shallow, just not that shallow.  Oh, you mean attention from me, not from bystanders?  That could be.  But if Guzzi did a standard like the bike in Penderic's post, with good suspension and made it a good all rounder, I don't think it'd get ignored.  However, I do love my 1200 Sport 2v, like very few bikes I've owned over 30+ years.

'Something like this?"  Freekin' gorgeous, to my aged eyes. And exactly what I've wanted for a very long time. You can only pretend to get close with over-bores and wishful thinking.  It seems to me that most all the bits and pieces are already on the shelves! It retro! a perfect fit in the model line. Can they add lightness, too?  Good fortune,  R3~

This makes sense.

There are a lot of new designs by manufacturers in the 700c-800cc range.  Both Honda and Yamaha have new vertical twins.
Harley has a new 750cc.  They run from 55-75 horsepower.  At 48 hp, I suspect MG needs an upgrade to compete.

I hope it doesn't have the ergonomics of the Bellagio. I sat on one once and thought it had a goofy sitting position, like my California but with rear set pegs..

Have ridden one didn't have a problem seat height could of been higher, however my other bikes have rear sets and clip-ons.

Crikey. You need to drag your arses into the 21st Century. Why do you lot get wood for a bike that looks a throwback to the 80's?
