This video makes me wonder where are all the V6 or V8 conversion kits for Moto Guzzi drivetrains.

Or at least a Volkswagen or Porsche conversion kit....

It seems so natural, you would think Moto Guzzi would have produced a V4 or V6 as an OEM bike.

It's not like they didn't think about a V4...

A friend of mine put a VW in his Convert. Very well done too. At one time on the farm I drove Fiat Spiders & had a 124 Spider Sport motor ready for an Ambassador frame. Instead i sold car & extra motor.
Lot's of cool stuff out there.

So... just another Aprilia engine in a different chassis, like the upcoming 500. Pass.

True, but that's the future for Moto Guzzi under the Piaggio umbrella.  "British" Triumphs made in Thailand, BSA motorcycles made in India. BMW engines made in China (and still sold at German prices!) Everything is all just a big marketing scam these days.

And the Honda I'm waiting to become available/buy (CB500 Super Four) is made in China!
