I think these are just load-in days? Doesnt ECIMA officially start 11/25?Motorcycle.com is saying the claimed HP is 115
.An innovative design has allowed for the development of an extremely compact and lightweight engine, which is 103 mm shorter than the V85 TT small block. The new twin stands out from all the engines recently built in Mandello del Lario for its cylinder heads, which are rotated by 90°, a decision that increases on-board comfort and rationalizes the positioning of components in the intake and electronic injection systems.Its actual displacement equates to 1042cc, while timing involves a double overhead camshaft with finger followers and four valves per cylinder, which are chain driven. It also flaunts a wet sump lubrication system, a liquid cooling system, and a hydraulically controlled wet clutch.Performance is second to none, with power more than 115 HP and torque of more than 105 Nm, with 90% already available at 3500 rpm and the limiter set at 9500 rpm. Data that effectively showcases the character and power of the new engine, gutsy and with real drive already at low speeds, and able to offer a riding experience worthy of the Moto Guzzi name.
It is annoying that neither bike on display is showing with factory luggage or a centerstand tho
Did you actually read the whole press release?
I think it's a nice looking bike, yes a bit on the conservative side but it's a good start and a great platform for a real modern LeMans. Of course with more HP.
Of course, still havent found what is ”special”.
What could they do to make it 'special'? All new engine, liquid cooled, downdraft induction and 4-valve heads.. the most powerful Guzzi in history. Shorter, lighter block & trans, shorter wheelbase. Wet clutch eliminates bellhousing and heavy flywheel, 10k redline. Cutting edge electronics, ride by wire with 12 various ride modes, factory cruise & heated grips, adjustable windscreen and aerodynamic foils, LED lighting and LCD display. All new swing arm with no reaction arm and beautiful forged wheels...Sounds like you just dont like how it looks? Cause it has dozens of features no Guzzi ever has had and it's a complete new design outside of anything they have ever done. What in your mind would make it more 'special'?
I dont think my 2v 1100 Breva has 80, so this will be a nice upgrade. I'll take 115, esp if it weighs 30-60lb less than the big B
