What's happening in the world today?  When has Guzzi ever been able to keep a bike totally under wraps this close to EICMA?

Alla conquista di nuovi sentieri. Dove ci porterà questa nuova avventura? Scoprilo ad #EICMA2017 dal 9 al 12 novembre.

I am excited to see what they do and I’m sure I’ll like whatever it is.  But school me up on Guzzi “concept” bikes; how many have made it to the sales floor?  I recall the Terblanche concepts and they went nowhere, basically.  Guzzi is not Yamaha who can debut a concept and then have it appear in months on sales floors.  Or can they?

Morini will be showing this and I'm liking it, other than the exhaust.

A LeMans 1400.  Spine frame.  Sport tourer with Ohlin suspension.  Bags are an option.  Windscreen adjustable on the fly.  The fairing will have 2 pockets ala Windjammer.
From the Deep Deep South out in left field.  There are no stupid questions.  There are however stupid people asking questions.  🤣, this includes me.  😉

In the last couple of years when they've done beige with a HDesc we'll swap and tanks and seats open a new can of paint and call it a new model. Basically they haven't delivered anything special in the last couple of years and there is no reason to expect anything special.

Name will probably be "V85 Enduro".
Quite unimaginative, but clear.

Found this via Twitter, and forgive the Google translate :-

The novelty starts with the engine - which will see a potential (1000-1200 cc) capacity - that will have nothing to do with current Big Bore or Small Block and will adopt a mixed cooling system with the head part cooled to liquid while lower air cylinders should remain cool for the cylinders

So looks as the majority suspected a new air/water cooled V-Twin a la BMW approach, which will be shown in a concept of which the article had no details.

As mentioned, Guzzi is clamming this new bike will be a "world first!" & and it will "knock the socks off of the Guzzista!"   Those are some mighty brash claims indeed, will they back them up???

What would Worlds first have to be???

from the model name V85, at least we know it has a V engine.

It looks like it has got a tall windscreen and a beak like mudguard too

http://motori.ilmessaggero.it/speciale_eicma/moto_guzzi_v85_concept_enduro_stile_classico_vintage_rappresenta_futuro_aquile-3349933.html

Google Translate:

"With her she is launching a 90 ° 90-inch V-twin-cylinder engine cooled by air that can deliver 80 hp power and so many torque at low speeds. It is a propulsion around which, according to Moto Guzzi, a new range of motorcycles will be built at Mandello del Lario. This aspect, therefore, implies that the V85 Concept will not be an end-to-end prototype, but the anticipation of a motorcycle that we will soon see on the road.

At this point it is probable to assume that around this 80-hp engine will be able to develop motorcycles of different segments, all of which are always associated with the style that distinguishes the Moto Guzzi."

That appears to be the baby Stelvio some have been clamoring about. Like someone else said, time to pony up. It'll be interesting to see the stats on this bike, weight, fuel capacity, etc.

Excited for the engine, definitely.  The bike.  Not so much.

Hope all you “cruiser” bashers are happy.  Nine out of ten respondents agree, you won’t be buying one though you’ve whined about it here for ages.  But anyhow.  Here it is.  An ugly Moto Guzzi.  Enjoy.  :grin:

I'm cautiously optimistic. From another translation it looks like twin cylinder 5 valve. *If they get it right* that would be a killer base for a new LeMans.  :smiley: I'd open my wallet for one if I live long enough.  :grin:
