The 1400 is more than likely on the chopping block. If they do away with that lineup, will you stay on Guzzi?

bobbyfromnc · « **Reply #1 on:** April 03, 2019, 10:33:38 AM »

Though I own a 1400 and really like and plan on keeping it for years to come, unless it's weight becomes an issue because of age. I'm 60. If that does become an issue I would stay with guzzi, say a V9 equipped like a 1400 touring, that would be sweet IMHO.

I have never, in my 38 years of riding, needed, wanted or owned a motorcycle above 750 cc. Can't see it changing.

can't beat the original Eldo, I'm looking at one this weekend..

Sorry,

I stopped after the CARC was killed. I had a Griso, still have a Stelvio with 30k miles.

I'll be done after the Stelvio unless something changes.

I was out on mine yesterday, stuck in traffic, I thought to myself this is one bike I don't mind puttering along on, the car drivers for the most part enjoy it ticking away.

No effect here for me, my largest cc bike is my V11 Sport and have no plans on anything larger, unless a Rune fell into my garage

No crystal ball but, now I will say yes indeed. Besides, who the hell is ever going to buy the ones I got laying around.

My Cali is again for sale, and I would very likely have bought a V7III or a V85 — if it’s up to snuff — if I hadn’t purchased my GS last summer. Make no mistake, I really like the Cali, but want to retrench with just two bikes, at least for now.

My newest Guzzi is a Breva 1100 and unless something of interest comes along I won't buy a newer Guzzi.

LowRyter · « **Reply #13 on:** April 03, 2019, 11:58:50 AM »

The small block isn't for me. The 1400 has possibilities but not in cruiser form. I read here that the 1400 was doomed. I also read an interview with the MG executive, he said that the 1400 would continue and 1100 would be developed too.

All I know is I am not waiting and I got something else Italian but completely different.

I have 2 Guzzis f/s. Once they are gone I'll be done riding Guzzi's until i get another.

I had five (5) at one time then down to one (1) then back up to two (2) and now want to get to zero for a while.

Definitely yes. I will be sad to see them being drop from production but I will get over that, having couple of them already will help to easy the pain and should carry me for few years ahead.

arveno · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2019, 12:44:19 PM »

Of course!!
Will continue riding my 750 Ambassador.

Jokes aside.

They invested money on developing a completely new motorcycle ( the 1400 series) and after a few years they will just drop it ?

I guess it won’t worth keep producing it ?

I don’t buy that it’s due to the euro 5 .

Lesman · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2019, 12:50:38 PM »

Care less if they dropped the 1400 model . Still sticking to my build(Eldo) and my Quota. It seems that Guzzi does not sell over 1000 1400 units per year(If that Many). The small block models don't have the big profit margins. Hope Guzzi makes it to 2021.

Gusable · « **Reply #20 on:** April 03, 2019, 12:56:41 PM »

1921 to 2021? R.i.p guzzi? I sure hope not

Antietam Classic Cycle · « **Reply #21 on:** April 03, 2019, 01:36:53 PM »

Why would I stop riding the brand I prefer just because they discontinue a line I never liked in the first place?

I've heard scuttle butt in other venues that if they do away with the 1400 series, they would switch brands. So, I thought I'd feel out this venue...

rocker59 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2019, 02:23:07 PM »

- If the big blocks are discontinued, will I continue to ride Guzzi?

Maybe.

twowings · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2019, 02:28:32 PM »

I'll continue to ride my Guzzi even if they eliminate Moto Guzzi...

wirespokes · « **Reply #25 on:** April 03, 2019, 02:38:16 PM »

Seems like most of the responders don't even own a 1400, so of course it wouldn't matter to them. I'm curious how many of the 1400 owners would say no.

I said yes because I have no desire to own a fuel injected bike. About the newest that grabs my attention is the 1100 Sport - the early carb version. The 70s and 80s bikes are more than fast enough for me, and with a little tweaking, the suspension does just fine. No issue with the brakes, as is, once de-linked. I just happen to like the earlier stuff best. Besides, I'm not into a huge heavy bike like the 1400 - more into sport style.

I have considered buying a Cal14. If discontinued, I will probably drop them from consideration. Last thing I want is a heavily electronic orphan motorcycle with the nearest dealer 250+ miles distant. Just doesn't interest me.

It's sad to admit, but if Guzzi cannot keep dealerships in my part of The Country, a motorcycling mecca with several 500,000 population metros within 200 miles, I will likely never own another new, or newish, Moto Guzzi.

Lannis · « **Reply #27 on:** April 03, 2019, 04:57:01 PM »

How would I even know unless I clicked on a 1400-related thread? I'm still riding BSAs and they went out of business 47 years ago.

guzzisteve · « **Reply #28 on:** April 03, 2019, 05:26:00 PM »

+1 Lannis I could care less, I'm not buying new models, nothing I like. Can't afford it anyway. I'll be selling not buying, I don't plan on living forever OR trying to.

Ncdan · « **Reply #29 on:** April 03, 2019, 06:01:53 PM »

I'm hoping my 2015 1400 tourer will take me to the end of my ridding career. If it doesn't, due to mechanical failures that I or my ole Honda mechanic can't handle, I will more than likely not own another Guzzi, 1400 or otherwise.
