That's great stuff!...I wonder if a few of those kits will get "exported" to the US? What a great program

It really looks cool. Not sure it would work in the US though..  People just dont know Guzzi.

The Guzzi Internet family put together a winning Land Speed Racing Team from 1999 to 2001, maybe Wild Guzzi could do the same for this.

I loved watching the racing when they came out with that HD883 race series.  Had some great racing, and really almost anyone could afford to race.

Lot's of $ involved to promote, organize, start-up a series. It would be cool, I wonder about the engine kits for these. Just pipes & mapping or cam & bigger TB's

Sounds a bit like bracket racing. Stunted power = dulled results.
When I bought a 2017 V7 III R it was to get the rear sets and Ohlins'. - had the dealer swap the bars to Legnano's, the forks to K-Tech fully adjustable type and cast wheels from a Stone. The front abs sucked badly (but finally cured itself! - as in wt*. how does that happen?). 'Meanwhile'; I had my dealer add his in house developed Brembo 4 piston radial caliper, w/4 segment HH pads and radial MC w/remote res. My frt. brakes look like the yclept 'endurance racers'. Hamlin Cycles had it 5 or more yrs. ago. - developed by one of Jim Hamlin's Techs in Bethel, CT. Once you've experienced great brakes you'll never go back. And then there was a corrective paint job. Too bad they didn't offer the current LM like fairing at the time. 

Open invite to anyone who answers to "Chuck": Next time you see me ride my V7.   R3~
