Well, I would hope it does not have the stupid a$$ kicked up in the rear look.  But, given the current sport bike styling I suppose it will.

Something like a 120 horse power maybe...

Yes they will.  But I'm thinking they already have a motor that knocks out 96hp, but it's pretty big, and its not designed, at least in this iteration to make big hp for a sporting type bike.   I do think they will be coming out with something much more sporting, and putting out substantially more hp than anything they have done to date.

So Piaggio is shifting their philosophy with Moto Guzzi putting out a sport bike variant.  Will Aprilia make a touring bike? :grin:

Like the Aprilia Futura? A very nice sport-touring mount by most accounts.

I think a 100th anniversary LeMans or Daytona would be a good move for Moto Guzzi.

I have given some thought to collecting 100th anniversary bikes. That would be a fun theme for a collection - and it could include: ... a Harley, Husqvarna, BMW, and a Moto Guzzi..... maybe even a Triumph.

I tend to think Guzzi will do another sport bike, but given recent history, I'm wondering whether they do something with modern styling and technology or just go for another dual shocked retro model.

I've heard rumors from a creditable source, but I'll believe it when I see it. I remember the Ippo, and it certainly "looks" like Guzzi is now the cruiser division of Piaggio.
