'Cos if you don't and decide to buy one you'll have to trawl the classifieds for multi-crashed, flogged-out old beaters like mine and Beetles after we've died! :evil:

I doubt anyone outside top management knows for sure, but a reputable dealer told me earlier this year that the CARC bikes are dead. All of them.

I don't know what this really means. Perhaps Moto Guzzi will never release another single-sided swing arm bike. Perhaps they will come out with a new version of it in the future. In the meantime, they are probably going to focus on V9 bikes and 1400 bikes.

Wow, news to me. In 35 years and a multitude of bikes the 2V Norge is the best long range bike I have found. A shame that more people do not appreciate the virtues and simplicity of this perfect steed. I will be keeping mine, thank you very much.

I learned that the Triumph T-Bird will not be in the 2017 lineup. Too many '14 '15 models on the floors. Like the CARC bikes I guess. Seems I gravitate to such bikes.
