I have not seen this one either. I learned a few things.. you can pop a wheelie with a Moto Guzzi  :azn:, Carcano is the name of the engineer in the racing department (probably where the final drive name comes from, right?).

The Moto Guzzi video parts starts around 13 minutes, and ends around 26 min for those in a rush. At around 17 minutes you can see a nice lineup of tasty Le Mans 1000 Ultima Ediziones (that made my day). Other cool stuff too in there.

Thanks for posting.

It was on in the UK a long time back, but if you've never seen it worth a look

I had a Daytona at the time and was amazed watching that guy wheelie one. Nearest I came with mine was getting hard on the throttle exiting a bend and the road dipped away, the front wheel lifted (and I crapped myself)

However even at the time (and biased as I was/am) saying it was state of the art or pinnnacle of design etc:???? My jaw dropped, I wonder what the boys in Bologna thought of that when the 916 was also on sale.
