Vid on new models

That video doesn’t seem accurate. For one, it includes the V9.

Speaking of which, now that it’s been discontinued, I kinda miss the looks of the little bugger ;)

Do we know for sure the V9 was discontinued?

Is that an assumption because it wasn't shown at EICMA?

Do they always show all models at EICMA or only ones that have been changed or are new?

Either way they are going to leave it on the website and promotional materials at least until most stock sitting in showrooms has been sold even if it is being discontinued.

V9 seems to still be present https://www.motoguzzi.com/en_EN/

[Dirk_S]

Present, yes. Still viable for 2025 in its current form, sure. I admit I’m too quick to claim it’s discontinued—I’m no journalist with insider knowledge and haven’t read any official quotes saying such, but if a new version wasn’t presented at EICMA—even just a new paint scheme—I sense its end.

That said, I still doubt the authenticity of this video. The video title says NEW 2025 models, and yet it mentions the V9, and shows old color schemes of the V85 (at least I don’t think the yellow version will be available anymore) as well as outdated V7 Special color schemes (was that a V7 III I spied in their shots?). Maybe I missed the footage or shots of the brand new V100 wind tunnel models?

I dunno—AI voiceovers are so good these days, with emotional inflection included now, that it just has my nose twitching. Anyone know the validity of the channel?

The new v9 has the v7 motor and new color.Apparently the 53 horse motor is discontinued.

I believe the V9 and V7 have shared the 60+ hp motor since…’21, now?

There are several phony Guzzi new model videos on Utube at the current time. There is even one for the "new" California although they hint that it is speculation. There is one guy on Utube who is spewing down right lies as to what is going on at Stellantis and others are repeating his garbage.

Anything is worth a view, but I’m not sure his lame delivery has done the marque any favours.
I think Troy Mc Clure is his script writer…
“The ——— boasts a transverse v twin..” (Jeeez surely not  )
“You’re not just buying a bike….
You’re investing in a LIFESTYLE….!” et al.
But it’s always a good view and thanks for posting, one day it’ll be a liquid cooled 850 cc dual purpose Aprilia (Sorry…”Guzzi”) and a lot of us will sit up and take notice.

I wouldn’t take what he says seriously, I don’t know what his sources are . It may be speculation or the ravings of a lunatic . It was interesting so I posted it, he could even be right,:grin:

[sunGuzzi]

The V85TT pics in the clip were of a E4 model and the Travel a '21 E5....still,  I watched it all.

[Huzo]

  I watched it all.

Brave Guy…!

[Moparnut72]

I started to watch it and only lasted maybe a minute. AI for sure. Guzzi isn't pronounced the same two times in a row for one.

It's clearly a video from a crappy source, it's 100% AI dialogue and like the whole thing was slapped together by AI, for reasons pointed out by others.  As a good rule of thumb, if the voice over sounds off in any way, it's not a real human speaking, and in my opinion, if they can't take the time to actually talk to you, then why give them your time?

The v9 was not at EICMA, therefore it has come to and end.  They are still available to sale, hence still on many Guzzi web sites until they are all eaten up.

A BMW R9T in the opening video?!

Yeah, more holes than Swiss cheese.

[jackthebiker]

Lots of videos on Youtube of value, I watch several every day. But lately there a also lots of click bait, and clicking on them gets them the attention they want.

Just because I'm a moron I wanted to follow up on this.

I couldn't find where the heck I'd put the download when I posted this, but doing some end of year maintenance on my work files this morning I came across it.

I have a PDF of 43 page Brochure from the mother ship entitled Moto Guzzi - 2025 Range which goes over the Stelvio, V100 Mandello, V7 Range, and the V85 - and indeed there is NO V9 present in that brochure.

So that would seem to agree with those saying that its absence from EICMA means it is a dead model line.

Sorry for being thick and forgetting about that last week.

Let me know if anyone wants me to email a copy to them, though I think you can get it directly from Guzzi if you give them your email (I'm sure that's how I got it, I think I submitted a request for more info on the V7 Sport and they sent the whole damn thing).
