Still not my type of bike at all, but looks much better than I first feared from the 'spy pics'.

Cheers,
D.

I saw this and think it’s pretty neat as well. The video is cracking me up but I think this going to be an amazing bike and a tremendous seller for Guzzi( at least I hope) thanks for posting the pictures.

oh well, still not sold on the syling, but nice to see this alternate colorway instead of the SLOW RED color

It certainly sounds Guzzi, that's for sure

Great video shot on the guzzi link of the Italian eagle landing on the hand of a seated rider ..

Where have I seen this motorcycle shape before?

Jeez, you’re right.
They both have a wheel on each end, it’s uncanny..

Honestly, I think it’s a pretty good looking bike. With a set of integrated bags, it looks like a winner to me.

It’s all subjective but that’s the ugliest, blandest thing I’ve seen come out of the Factory since…well honestly, I dunno. Are they taking their cues from a 2005 FZ6? I’m genuinely baffled. Uh. Hope it looks better in person?

Dimitri_Harkov · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2021, 06:09:08 AM »

Well I'd say it's on par with some of their ugliest contraptions ;)

Anyway - the engine looks nice, and might fit into a new classic line well with some appropriate valve covers.

Funny mate.
Your comments suggest you’re adamant, but your emoji says you’re undecided..
Fair dinkum, some of you blokes would whinge if your arse was eating ice cream, it’s very, very, nice.
BTW.
What do you ride and for someone who’s baffled, you’re making a lot of noise..

I do love that they retained fins on the jugs... couldnt see that before. Also liking the look of the 'new carc' now that I can see more detail. Cool wheels.

Dirk_S · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2021, 06:17:54 AM »

I’m trying not to be biased, but add this to one of the 10% of sport-style bikes that actually attract me. Simple, sleek lines, and something about that fairing is just jazz. Here’s hoping it passes the wind tunnel test :D

And I think they did a great job in minimizing the radiator, also looks like a shorter wheelbase. I bet it’s fun to ride.

. Mostly the idea this bike is taking flight like an Eagle I think is a neat concept. I do feel the video is over the top in a good way. Just when the bike takes off visually it looks like the rider is missing the turn. Maybe it’s just me.

Amstaff · « **Reply #18 on:** September 10, 2021, 06:34:58 AM »

That’s enough to get me thinking about a new bike purchase. Beautiful metallic red and styling. Not sure if the water cooling is a turnoff, and if the cylinders should look modern and smooth. The engine form conveys the heritage without the fins.

I'm excited about this. It looks pretty sporty, but look at the height of the handlebars, they know their audience. Nothing about price yet, but I imagine you will need at least $13,000 to $15,000 to park it in your garage, then come the bags and other accessories. The BMW 1250RS is the closest looking beemer to it and they are more like $20,000.00. So, just as the V85 series is a relative bargain for what you get, I hope they keep this machine priced right too. This machine may actually have a shot of some conquest sales if it gets the press reception that the v85tt got and of course, if they can deliver the bikes. Always a question with MG.

It’s an opinion, Huzo. Deal with it.

I thought I did.
If they were in the stores, I’d have one tomorrow....(in red).

bettythebear · « **Reply #22 on:** September 10, 2021, 06:46:56 AM »

I think the gold rims, and the subtle swoop of that swingarm look fantastic. In the video it also looks like it has active air intake panels of some sort. Pretty fancy.

Dave Swanson · « **Reply #23 on:** September 10, 2021, 07:13:25 AM »

Wow! That looks great! I can see one in my garage already!!

It will be closer to $20K than 13-15... Glad it's not a cruiser. Not exactly stunningly beautiful but I like it - I'll bet it has a nice personality.

Certainly is modern and a good way to kick off the next 100 years.
Do we know displacement? I'll bet 1200-1400cc
And why is the driveshaft on the left?
