From a recent on line Cycle World article written during EICMA. I don't keep up with things small block related, but this caught my attention, since I thought Guzzi had retained the Heron head design on the sb 850s. Here's an excerpt:
……………….. but that was only the beginning: The top end was also completely redesigned, the Heron-style flat head with parallel valves giving way to a compact-profile hemispherical combustion chamber. Valves are still two per cylinder, still actuated by pushrods and rocker arms. The thermodynamic efficiency of the new heads is confirmed by the 10.5:1 compression ratio, impressive for an air-cooled engine ………..
Here’s the link to the Cycle World article:

Yup, old news. The new V9 changed from Heron to Hemi. there are some who predict the next V7 Stone will be a V9 Stone.
Time will tell.
