EICMA EICMA 2024 Milan Motorcycle Show is approaching, Nov 7-10

Anyone going?

There are rumors of an updated Euro5+ V7.

[Dirk_S]

If they don’t present a unique small block model entirely different from the V7/V9 or V85, I’ll be fairly pessimistic about the small block’s future. There’s been plenty enough time for R&D to create something different beyond new color ways and “street versions” of a mild ADV.

Yes, there's a rumor (and a photo) of a new V7 with USD forks and dual discs.

OK - That is one good looking Guzzi!!!

[Dirk_S]

The forks look…noodle’y to me, and I wonder why the front needs two rotors. Granted, I can’t remember how the 850 felt when I rode one, but at least with the Mk III, it doesn’t feel necessary. And if it isn’t necessary, why bother adding the weight and bits?

* Balanced look
* Longer life
* Less fade if seriously pushed
* Weight has slowly increased since the MkI
* Power has been increasing since the MkI

Follow me for more tips


PS Jenn's M696 weighs only 400# and has dual Brembos and USD forks and feels brilliant. Why not a V7?

I wonder if the Chang Jiang 750 Defender will be there-------------------

Give me a V100 which looks like that, and I'm in heaven...

Twin disks increases braking power, decreases effort at the lever, and increases feel for the rider.  Allows two-finger braking in most conditions.  The single disk outfit on the V7s has been perfectly adequate, but going to dual disks will improve the riding experience.

Same for the USD fork.  It will be an improvement over the bargain bin conventional fork fitted to these since 2009. 

It's about time some of the V7s have these two items.

Hamlin has a fantastic mod for the V7 single disk that does everything you just described without the added weight.  Must be experienced to be believed.
He really is a master at that stuff.

Ooh, where can I find details on this?

Hamlin Cycles…..dot…..com

Hamlin Cycles…..dot…..com

Couldn't find any details on their site. Is there a link to it?
What's the upgrade consist of, is it the Brembo RCS radial master upgrade or something else?

[kingoffleece]

Jim doesn't bother with too much web stuff.  His huge customer base already knows.
Call him, use my name, and ask for the V7 brake mod.
Ask around.  Everybody in the east knows how great Hamlin Cycles is.

[nmroadrunner]

One can only fervently hope that such expertise will find a path to flow into the next generation of masters of their craft. Bravo, Jim!

Too bad that’s another example of a “probably” fake reveal video that simply shows an Oberdan Bezzi concept.

But I’d love to see that come to life. Reviving the Monza name would be great for a modern small block.

[PeteS]

Put the V85 motor in it and you would have a bike worthy of its name and predecessors.

That bike should sell !!       Maybe to us old guys, but you can get a GSXR with twice the power

Crappy photoshop...all this speculative stuff gets really boring.

It could be, but I don't think it is. The only parts that would need to be are the front end. The wheel is well done if that's the case. And isn't the side cover badge different but very believable?

Maybe I'm easy to convince because it so matches my desires.

Also the group admin who posted it doesn't usually tolerate such. Hell he deleted a post with one recently.

*Shrugs* guess we'll know soon enough.

[Frenchfrog]

I meant the video Kev.
The photographs initially posted are very credible for me and I think would be a very good upgrade.

[JJ]

I suspect, if they really made this model, it will sell like "hot cakes", and especially in "red"

    I guess we will know after the EICMA show, yes?

Let me make a prediction. Won't happen.  I'm still waiting for the Ippogriffo..

[Moparnut72]

There are a number of videos on Utube with "new" models coming from MG. I watched one and only one just a load of BS. There is even one with a new California. Yeah right even AI couldn't come up with something that any of us would want, I didn't watch it just saw the thumbnail.

The "green" V7 is lovely looking and unlike some people who have a Mk 2 or 3, or even 1 V7, I have a 2004 Breva and I anticipate it would be quite an upgrade for me personally. . Fit a small screen, centrestand and HB racks and panniers and that me done for the next 15 years. And unlike a lot of people, I AM actively looking to replace my old Guzzi with a new Guzzi sooner rather than later.

[bettythebear]

I know they can't because vespa exists within the same corporation, but I want to see a modern Galletto

Things may be quiet at Moto Guzzi, but Moto Morini is promising something:

Moto Morini is ready to usher in a new era at the 110th edition of EICMA, the most important international exhibition dedicated to two-wheel vehicles. It is here, at EICMA, that the motorcycle manufacturer will reveal, in a world premiere, four new models set to enhance its lineup from 2025 onwards, marking a strategic expansion and further solidifying its presence in the global market.

Moto Morini has chosen EICMA, the world’s leading event, as the ideal stage to showcase these new entries, aiming to reach a diverse audience with a range that will be highly varied in both style and engine capacity. As with all Moto Morini models, the new ones will be characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional design, tailored to meet the expectations of the most demanding riders.

This edition of EICMA is a landmark for Moto Morini, representing a key moment in our journey of growth and transformation,” declares Alberto Monni, General Manager of Moto Morini ‘In addition to expanding our footprint in new market segments, this year we will also have the opportunity to celebrate the anniversary of a model that has made the history of the Moto Morini brand.

"Our commitment is clear: to combine tradition and innovation, focusing on motorbikes that deliver high performance, reliability, and an exceptional riding experience. The models currently in our range along with those we will introduce at EICMA, embody the evolution of our heritage and the brand’s look towards the future. We invite you to discover the new products at our booth.

Moto Morini thus reaffirms its mission to remain a key player in the motorcycle market, staying deeply rooted in its rich past while embracing the challenges of the future. The new range is designed to meet the needs of an international audience increasingly aware of quality, design and innovation.

The appointment is set at EICMA, Fiera Milano – Rho, from 5th to 10th November 2024, at Hall 24, Stand C54, where Moto Morini eagerly awaits enthusiasts, partners, and the media to celebrate a new milestone in its remarkable history."

As both a V7 owner and a (now discontinued) Harley Sportster 1200 owner... How much longer can Moto Guzzi avoid making the V7 liquid cooled and still meet emissions requirements?
