Aprilia already did that with their RXV 450 & 550!

If you ever get a chance to ride one, do not pass it up!

A matter of survival.  For some of my more mature riding friends, even the V7 is too much weight.

It gains and loses one of its front discs during the video and why would you spin the wheel backwards in the presentation ?




But it is a nice looking thing and would sell like mad if it came to fruition.
Also that right side crankcase looks reminiscent of the Benelli 1130. When a Guzzi looks nice, it always looks damn nice.

No.
But neither is a Yamaha TRX 850 and I defy anyone to tell the difference in sound from an Akropovic equipped one and a similarly equipped Ducati. The crank can be arranged to give the same firing intervals and you will not know the difference…Because there is none.

Right you are mate!

Parallel twins with 270 degree cranks act the same in terms of physics, vibration, and traction as 90 degree V-twins.

Plus they are more inexpensive to manufacture and fit the "motorcycle" space envelope more easily.

They don’t act the same in terms of vibration.  Unlike a 90 degree V-twin, a parallel twin requires a counter balance system to run smoothly, even with a 270 degree crankshaft.  They are (agreed) cheap to manufacture and package well into the frame.

IS it real? Something about the video makes me think it's just good CGI.

Regardless, I'd take a serious look at a 457 Guzzi TT. Would rather have that instead of my Triumph 400X.
