940 Sport? The new hoped for intermediate Guzzi?

[Kev m]

If I may...

I think my little bro is pineing for:

Classic bodywork and riding position
<1000cc
2V simplicity (not looking to argue rch's over 2v v 4v)
About 400# wet
Maybe 80 rwhp
Decent size tank/range

Something above the small block in power and maybe a smidge in wheelbase, but below the CARC in size/weight.

I'll take one of those, too..

I'll take one of these as well.

Sounds like a good spec to me, also.  Sign me up!

Maybe I'm not following the gist of the thread but are we pining for essentially the same weight as a current offering but 15 (1200cc)/33 (1400cc) percent less capacity?

Is the drive towards a short-stroke revver or what?

Assumptions that it will be accompanied by a singularly svelte one-off chassis?

Todd- there's no replacement for displacement.

Quit dreaming you lot. Get over it.

Todd.

I for one, would like to see less weight too.     A bike that falls between the V7 and the big blocks in weight (say, no more than 470 lbs wet), with 950-ish CC's.    They're more likely to hit that weight with a small block (with hemi heads please) than a big block.

That's what I'd like.  Use the short-stroke 850 crank with either 1200 or 1400 pistons.
