Any hints about new bikes from Guzzi in '18?
« on: September 21, 2017, 10:00:06 AM »
The new bike announcement time is fast approaching.  Has anyone seen under the Guzzi top secret tent?

I'm going to guess new colors for many models, and some new customization kits for the V7 and V9.

I'd like to see them bump the V7 Racer up to the 850cc motor from the V9.
Add a LM1 style fairing, and call it, oh, I don't know, "LeMans 850."    :grin:

It'd be great to see a new Stelvio model, or a sport tourer or roadster, but, so long as Piaggio owns both Moto Guzzi and Aprilia, that won't happen.

I have heard a lot of Hypsters will be pleased by the 2018 models LOL.....

Just kidding or maybe not....but i am sure nothing " thrilling " is going to be revealed .

No sports bike 

No adventure bike

Same old same old.............

Deep inside i hope i am wrong though.

They will introduce an all new liquid cooled engine that complies with Euro 4 emissions.   :popcorn:

 Pistons will remain stationary and the motorcycle will go up and down.

I'm in the market for a new Guzzi v9 and am very curious about any changes (hoping for a v9 stone).

I'll be going to the EICMA in november to have a look  :laugh:

I predict disappointment for everyone.


It's a moot point anyway, as the world is ending this weekend.

 They're going to make the bike you've always dreamed of, in your favourite colour, at such a price that your significant other will approve. It'll have no problems, and will be perfect for short trips, long hauls and posing on. You'd be a fool not to buy it. Oh, and they're opening a dealership 100 yards from your home.

Impossible because of the v engine. Besides, Triumph already perfected this technology with the 650 Bonneville.

these ain't cars,  I always wonder why they don't release early in the spring.
 Up North,  Buy a new bike, can't ride for six months.
Nephew bought a '18 CVO, he can ride for about a week or so before cold sets in.
Ya, he would ride longer, but a lot of guys go like their white shoes, start Memorial Day, stop Labor Day, regardless of weather..

I don't get what you mean?  Why can't you ride for six months?  Is it just too hot to ride in the summer or something?

  New bikes come out Sept.  Buy a new bike Sept. 28 and it gets too cold in 2 weeks.
 For many folks up northie who  pack away the bikes after Labor Day..
If the New 18 models come out in March, buy one in April and ride all summer.
