Naming suggestions

[Huzo]

There have been some imaginative suggestions as a name for the proposed "new" V85.
Here's a couple...
Scoperta...(Discovery)
Percorso....(Distance)
Leggero.....(Light, nimble)
None of them are great, but if I HAD to choose one it'd be #2
Of course I'd like to see..
Suono.......(Beautiful sound)

[Huzo]

Or do the mountain pass thing...
Moto Guzzi Livigno?

[Groover]

I'd call it: "Panorama"

Moto Guzzi V85 Panorama


Where do I collect my royalty checks?

That's the best one yet.
But translated to Italian, it sounds like a Pizza variety.
You can collect your royalty cheque at the release to the public party.
Mandello del Lario 2024.

Perhaps after Roman legions...the Felix or the Praetorian. Or Roman deities, like Apollo or Juno.

(This is why I don�t name my bikes)

Apollo ? Hmmmm..
I guess that's apt, you could fill it with "gas" and pretend you went to the moon !

[fotoguzzi]

Dulinuff?

[ITSec]

Call it....



That name worked great for Microsoft...

[oldbike54]

 I was thinking Tierra del Fuego .

 Dusty

[Scud]

The Moto Guzzi Montagna... means mountain in Italian.

Or the Alpino - meaning alpine

[TimmyTheHog]

Destoquila...
 
Play with words with Desert Eagle in Italian...

either that or I was hungry for Tequila...

[wrbix]

Call it....

Reminds me of a joke......
Bubba and Bobby-Jo from Arkansas were young folk deeply in love .....(stop me if you've heard this one)

[Shorty]

However it would appear in Eye Tie:  The Greasy Mule.  Or the ball bearing jackass.

[wrbix]

....but back to the original naming question: DOLOMITE

....pronounced Doh-low-me-tee in the mother tongue..... just to weed out the non-cognoscenti.

[Tom]

Moto Guzzi Brutto.

[cloudbase]

Bastardo

[Turin]

I submitted to the website that they should name it the V85 Quota. I think Quota is an appropriate name since they will probably import about 200 and half of those imported will still be available as leftovers 10 years from now.

[Luap McKeever]

I'd call it the V85 Geococcyx.  Geococcyx is the Latin term for Roadrunner

It looks like a Roadrunner to me, which is not a bad thing.  I was born in the city of the largest roadrunner in the world, so I'm partial in that sense.

Geo: land
Coccyx: cuckoo

I'd call it the V85 Geococcyx.

If it were a KTM, would it be called the BreakMyCoccyx?

The Moto Guzzi Montagna... means mountain in Italian.

Or the Alpino - meaning alpine

Montagna is a really good one. Alpino would work as well.

[oldbike54]

 The marketing geniuses at Piaggio will probably name it NoVa 

 Dusty

[Scott DeRoss]

Just call it Oca : Goose in Italian! 

[SED]

Yes!   

Dolomite is both an Italian mountain range and a mineral that takes millions of years to form.  It is a marine limestone similar to what forms the summit of Mount Everest.  The name Dolomite has a good sport/adventure travel history at least since Triumph named a sports racing car "Dolomite" back in the '30s and raced it in the Monte Carlo rally.

Ronald McDonald.  I know the paint scheme is a throw back to the Dakar bike but all I can think of when I look at the yellow, white and red paint scheme is Ronald.

[Chuck in Indiana]

There's precedent for that. After all there is the "Barbie" model KLR. 

[Sheepdog]

Bultaco used up all the cool names: Astro, Alpina, Metralla, Sherpa, Saturno, Matador...

[PJPR01]

In the spirit of Overlanding and Adventures:

Guzzi Avventura
Guzzi Sabbia (sand dunes)
Guzzi Tramontane (Northern Wind, or Somewhere over the Mountains/Alps)
Guzzi Odisseo (after Odysseus of Greek mythology, the ultimate adventurer)

[bad Chad]

I like Cloudbase's Bastardo! 

But somebody here originally came up with Griffen, which I think i supper cool, but should be spelled Grippen, like the Swede Jet fighter.

Come on, MOTO GUZZI GRIPPEN, how cool is that!
