Dear comrades,

A guy posted this link today on a FB (maybe he is a member here, dunno): https://www.dueruote.it/notizie/attualita/moto-e-scooter-tutti-i-piani-di-moto-guzzi-aprilia-e-piaggio. Maybe this was already discussed, but Piaggio CEO explained quite a few things. For example, first priority for Piaggio is to consolidate Aprilia and Moto Guzzi with new models and engines by 2021.

This is also interesting info: "At the last EICMA we showed the concept of the new V85 , which will be presented in its standard version and will already be on sale at the next Milan fair. Then, always thinking in the logic of the platform, we want to recover the audience of orphan enthusiasts della Griso, and launch a tourist road, more flexible than our current classic."

How about this: "The new liquid-cooled engines, in a range from 750 to 1000 cc, are planned and we plan to launch them on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the brand in 2021".

Also, V35 may come back: "In the past, the V35 marked a period of great fortune for the brand, we are seriously considering it, and we aim to develop flexible engines that, with small modifications, can cover different sizes".

I don't speak Italian, so Google Translate is my friend. Good news or empty wishes?

Liquid cooled?!

Well, it was bound to happen at some point or another.
Old enough to say I've done it, young enough to do it again.
