This appears to be simply HD XR1200 bodywork warped/compressed in Photoshop to fit a Bellagio.

I love Photoshop, but I hate Photoshop.  It's a great tool, but too many people do chintzy stuff like this with thier mad photochopping skilz.

OK, these weird :D bikes are from Oberdan Bezzi Design.  I think this one is a little better, almost a cross between a Griso and a Japanese sport bike. ;)

It's a cross between an Aprilia Shiver and a Griso. Please, Guzzi: no ant-face headlights.

I think KTM started the angular styling trend.  I don't understand why every bike has to have a headlight shaped like a limp dick and giant radiator shrouds now whether it's got a radiator or not.

paint it orange and black and it would look sort of like a HD XR750.

A slightly different  version, of a fairly limited production bike, from a quirky company that is marketed to iconoclastic customers.... I'm sold. But - as stated above, I need more photos.

I couldn't see any difference - what's he supposed to have done to it?

The test writeup is certainly nice, and accurate as far as I can tell from my two rides.   I wouldn't leave it in fifth gear at 80 MPH up, though, I thought it had plenty of passing punch in sixth in a roll-on ....

Look like he took the "Aprillia'ish" oragmi front piece and gave is a smoother look. I would prefer that myself, but I suspect he did not leave room for the dashboard, ECU and relay panel that it hides in there.

Hmmm, very generic.


Which is wierd, since this Bezzi guy has no real-world constraints on his work, all he does is create images.

I don't even care that they are just drawings, if those do go into production a few years from now and they look just like, or close to, those renderings, I'll certainly be putting a deposit down for one. S or R though, hmmmmm.

I know what you are saying Robot, but I think for the flagship bike slightly generic is OK by me. All the "way out" designs in the last 10 years look mostly quite dates now; wheras the "generic" look of the 1998 R1 for example still looks really good. Triumph got it spot on with thier 675 Daytona - people who know sportsbikes can easily recognise it, but its "in the ballpark" of the basic style so doesn't scare the horses.

Agreed... ;-T

The 675 Daytona would be my choice du jour if I was shopping a new Sport Bike Right Now..

I like its engine size and layout, and the tank feels "slimmer" from a Rider's perspective than those super bulbous monstrosities that pass for Fuel Tanks on most Sport Bikes nowadays..

Either one of these two would do... 8)

Well, if they could knock off 50-100kg, and add 50-100hp, it could be interesting!

I like!  But it would be nice if they consider building bikes similar in ergos to Yamaha's FZ1 and FZ6 bikes ..... sporty, but with more conventional ergos.  

A pure sports bike, with a screaming water-cooled version with 12:1 compression ratio, and overhead cams would be a Duc competitor (maybe), with comparable hp.  Love the looks of the engine/exhaust combination ..... maybe one of the sexiest things about Guzzis.

Aprilia built a prototype very much like this in roughly 2002.  I have a photo someplace.  Too generic for my taste.

Knock off 100kg and add 100hp??? Why not just buy a MotoGP bike then - I cant think of too many bikes that weigh 100-120kgs and make 200+hp.....
