NEW Model Spy Pics: topic merged

[MGrego]

Hope to see some clearer pictures soon before forming my opinion, initially it kind of reminds me of Centauro styling.....

Seems to me, new motor means new models coming

I’m sure the cynics out there who have been crapping on this year’s output and MG’s future (or seemingly lack-thereof) will enjoy sitting down to give those angry little fingers a break.

After nearly 20 years of unfulfilled promises and teasing, can you blame us? 

But this makes me happy. Very happy. Bring on the 1200 sport version without the ugly-stick treatment. Can't wait.

Also can't believe after months of googling 'guzzi spy pics' three times a week I missed this by five days, lol. I'd actually given up.

Kudos to Piaggio's security, not a single spy pic during development, is that a first?

And for heaven’s sake you guys in the styling department, look at which Guzzis are considered classically beautiful and build them in that style where design limitations allow.
Imagine what an MGS styled 1000 would sell like with that motor. Don’t try to take on the KTM angry praying mantis slash cut styling, it’s pox.

Amen. Not a fan of V100 looks; I'll wait for the larger capacity sports (ish) bike that's also supposed to be happening (please please please let it happen and be pretty. More Agusta Superveloce than KTM).

But if not I could see picking up a used V100 and messing with it. I have enough MGS bits and pieces now that I could cobble some stupid half-arsed thing together.

Couple of observations, no apparent anti jacking system on the rear drive, looks to be a more road oriented multistrada, last gen triump tiger type bike so a 17inch wheel adventure type bike which may explain the term road cross over. Should have a decent sized fuel tank on it, will be interesting the trade press seems to be pretty quiet about this. It looks more like the kind of bike I should buy instead of what I typically buy.

Seems like an odd move to bring in a new architecture with all mod cons *barring that*, though. Roper's been suggesting there might be a link behind the arm or something.
