A case could also be made that Moto Guzzi has learned more from Honda than vice-versa.
d00d....
Hmmm. A lot of manufacturers studied Honda.
Scud , once again , the intention was not to bash Honda , or Harley , or McDonalds . Well , maybe Mcdonalds The idea is this , some folks seem to be disappointed that MG doesn't act like Honda, or HD . As for Soichiro Honda , no doubt he was an amazing man , loved motorbikes , apparently owned quite a few from different companies , hell , maybe even a Guzzi Dusty
McDonalds? can't eat that crap, made dirty hot dog water shoot out of my ass every time.
Thanks Dusty. As for acting like Honda: I think Honda got the funds to be innovative by getting 80 million people to buy Super Cubs... and heaps of other popular models.Now if Guzzi can get 10,000 people a year to buy V7s and V9s, maybe they can put some cash in the bank and develop the diesel-tractor adventure-bike we've all been waiting for... ... or maybe a LeMans 7 (or whatever number is up next).
A quote from Soichiro:"Driving a car is like sitting in the living room; driving a motorcycle is something like riding a horse - it's driving and controlling something that is almost alive." (page 120)
More like Mamas rissoles are the only food allowed and anything else is sacrilege, including adding a little pepper. And don't even mention a change to the recipie unless it passes muster and then only when applied to the original because changing the old is okay even if it means turning rissoles into rigatoni but even mention changes to something new and its you have the wrong food!Or, completely rebuild an older model and turn a street bike into an ADV and hooray. Take the old bike and make a trike and its a feat of miracles. Even mention changing a new model and you bought the wrong bike.The younger people like rissoles, they just don't want it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.And that is why Hondas and McDonalds exists and why our Moto Guzzis have disk brakes, fuel injection and more than one mirror.
John gets it .. although we both would probably prefer personality to "soul" . Dusty
Moto Guzzi isn't Honda .................. and that is good news
I was recently laid up for 48 hours by a burger with too much personality

Exactly... Too many people around here pissing and crying because Guzzi isn't like Honda or Yamaha or Toyota or whatever big mega company.Too may threads crying "why doesn't Guzzi do what ______ mega company does".It's getting old. Real old.
Guzzi is that indy hippie Italian cafe in the dodgy part of town. The arch opposite of Olive Garden.No matter how many yuppies discover it and want to make it something it's not, it remains the indy hippie Italian cafe in the dodgy part of town, and can never be Olive Garden...Damn. I'm getting hungry...
