EICMA Milan - November 10-13, 2016 - merged threadfest

[lucydad2]

You're about a week early with your question.  EICMA is where most 2017 news that isn't already out will be out.

Ok, thanks, standing by.  Hoping the V7 III is a winner.  Racer as a V9 would be cool, maybe. 
Yeah the MGX is quite a bagger, saw one in Houston at our dealer a while back.  They sold it quickly.

My well broken in V7R and I will go NW somewhere around Brenham, TX.  Need to watch WX as mild front coming in. Could be soggy.
LOTS of bikes on road headed to Galveston for the big Rally.  So, not considering anywhere on coast.

Rumors of the hemi-head V7 seem to be true, and they'll be on display in a few days in Milan:

One week away.  I hope Guzzi has something new and exciting in the 1200cc category on the podium.

where's the "BEATING the DEAD HORSE" icon when we really need it?

I don't know, the V7 Racer would be more my thing if it's a brushed aluminium tank rather than the chrome of the current version, whilst  I like it always way to much bling for me.

Having said that I do like the V9 X Track, that's something I would definitely look forward to taking a demo ride on

[Pisano]

Thanks Rocker59 but I was being sarcastic.  Miffed that we only see tweaks to the V7 with no 850cc .

I don't know about  aluminum, but, it is a brushed looking finish:


The 50th Anniversary V7 is Chrome:

No, no, I beg not.  Guzzi is the last maker to hold out with Heron heads, which are actually good for real-world riding, and not the max rpm redline reviews from the magazines.

Guzzi, hold firm and don't cave in to the unknowing masses.

My friend rode a V9 Bobber and loved the torque...he has a V7R

Why do you think it is going to change the nature THAT much?

People who have ridden the V9 (and own the V7) have been overwhelmingly positive about the V9 motor.

Just came back from my day at EICMA show in Milano.

I want an Eldorado and a V7 please.

It is a sad day for Moto Guzzi when its hostesses are much more interesting looking than its motorcycles.

 

[LowRyter]

yep, by comparison that motorcycle has a big front tire

Well at least you got a picture of them.

All over now but other than some HD-esk shuffling of paint schemes and ancillary parts between models we got nothing of real interest.

Bugger!

True.  Nothing to much, but I do think the v7III line looks really good this year, that Blue one is drop dead pretty.  Bumping the motor up to 52hp, might be bigger than it seems as well.

The v9 series is rated at 55hp at the crank, but is constantly putting out 50-52 hp on published dyno runs.  Perhaps the v7III will punch in the mid to high 40s at the wheel.

I sure hope they bring out some 1200ish size bikes soon, the small blocks are just too small for me, and I'm not ready for a 1400!
