I like Guzzi. I own a Guzzi. I love them.
In Australia, it appears so elsewhere, that Guzzi is just a little overpriced and underfinished in terms of contemporary "bling"! For instance, this has to cost as much as the Griso 8v, which will price it at about $AU2000 more than the Ducati Multistrada. Yet the Duke has greater quality of out fit, and more "bling." Guzzi must sit where it belongs competitively in the marketplace if it really wishes to penetrate the marketplace, not just preach to the converted, and it needs to sck its present "blin" artists and buy Ducati's. Where are the indicators in mirrors? PS: Who is responsible for the Norge needing to remove fairings to dip the engine oil!? They should be publicly flogged with an old throttle cable. |

A new threat to the Stelvio has arrived, the Moto Morini Granpasso 1200:
http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/mcn/2007/November/november5-11/nov0607motomorinigranpassowantsasliceofthebigtrailiemarket/ http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1297325663&channel=711881422 http://snelleeddy.punt.nl/?r=1&id=373712 and I have to admit to being smitten by this machine. By all accounts it wont only be price competitive with the Stelvion, it may be cheaper! De-tuned from 140bhp to a gruntier midrange of 120bhp and with Ohlins shockie too. Jim

I love the bug eyes, and the styling in general. Couple this with an exciting new engine, a modern front end, and hopefully some up-to-date controls, this could be the Guzzi I've been waiting for.
I'm gonna beg the company to keep the bug eyes; I think they are as unique as Guzzi's themselves, which is why I rider them! If they buckle to the people who don't like the bugeyes that would make this bike just another adventurer tourer, even if it IS a Guzzi. Bring it to the US, make it GREEN with bug-eyes and it may find it's way into my garage!.

I bought a new BM 1100gs in 98 and have now 60k miles on it, and believe maybe even by accident , that BM hit on a formula of balance,useability, and above all else ...handling !!!(out handles most sports bikes! )..........my only problem is that I always longed for that throbbing ,soulful Guzzi engine, instead of the flat twin..........Needless to say i'm already nervous , thinking about that first test ride on the Stelvio.......and I believe i'll have my answer inside 20 minutes !!
