I wish there was more info on what was done to the engine. If it’s big bore with head work and cams I think the horsepower numbers could be correct. Just saying....

Maybe...I wonder if the torque curve had already started to fall off big-time...and, will it make that on a different dyno?

The 'big reveal' of the HP figure was kind of abrupt...just sayin'

Hmm , so they are literally burning money ? Who knew ? Maybe that's how a certain West coast guy is getting 230 HP out of that 1400

I thought he posted 140+, but the next one w/blower is said to be 275

Yeah , 275 , which of course seems a bit inflated also

I am having a hard time believing an honest 123 HP from a 2 valve 1100 that remains remotely streetable , maybe with NOS it would be realistic for short periods .

Every Dyno is different also. My friends Griso 1100 is putting out 112 at the rear.

I recall that the Swallower Guzzi team in Holland was getting a number not unlike this from a full race non-streetable 2V engine in the 1990s... I also recall them explaining to me that it used to break crankshafts repetitively.

Perhaps someone has found Enzo's (remember him?) bike with it's homebuilt Cobra exhaust.

Tiresome

I guess because of the low sales numbers with Moto Guzzi that there is very little interest in quality performance companies making hot rod parts. I own a Hayabusa and the hod rod parts made in the states is endless and the same for HD products. It would be interesting to see a company like APE or Vance and Hines show interest in making Guzzi parts. With a performance crank and rods , big bore etc I think these engines would rip!!

It's a one litre air cooled twin that in standard trim is taken close to the limit of reliability producing 75-ish HP. People can claim anything they like but the truth is somewhat different.

If I could 10000 miles out of a 125 HP Guzzi I would be pumped, I’m not to concerned about long term reliability just want a Guzzi that could do second gear power band wheelies and entertain me. If all I wanted was outright reliability I wouldn’t own a Guzzi, I just happen to like the look and the personality. I still think a quality racing company with time and development could engineer a fix to all the problems that happen when you juice it up.

pete roper · « **Reply #21 on:** March 11, 2018, 06:11:14 PM »

People have been 'Juicing them up' for forty years. You won't get 120+ HP out of a 2V Guzzi. If you want 2nd gear power wheelies talk to chuck about his Scura but it ain't producing anywhere near 120hp.

The big secret is dyno calibration.

maybe that's metric HP?

Anything is possible if you toss enough money at it, but I wouldn't expect it tp last too long.

It's very easy to get a computer screen so say what you want it to. Just as it's easy to get a dyno to read higher or lower just by changing the info you feed into it.

pete roper · « **Reply #29 on:** March 12, 2018, 02:45:24 AM »

Did I post up the dyno charts for the 1400 here? Can't remember? Made 98. Something at the rear wheel. Torque curve is not a curve. It's a 'Flat'. We're really happy with that, but there again we aren't full of shit.......
