Opinion Polls
Nov 7 2007, 7:18 AM EST It is interesting that on the initial preview of the Stelvio in March, 52% said they were unsure about it. I have created the new poll to see if this has changed now that official definitive pictures have been released. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Nov 7 2007, 1:42 PM EST It goes to show you that us Guzzi folk are fairly traditional. Who could not like a T-3/V7 Sport blend offered in the new V7 Classic? Now, if the Classic just came with a wee splash of color... That Stelvio, while I would not kick it out my garage if someone were to leave it their, is quirky enough looking in the photos for me to take a wait-and-see attitude. I think it's the headlights/fairing that I find to be odd. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Nov 7 2007, 4:25 PM EST Yeah, I guess Guzzisti are traditional...it's funny though, some months ago, on an Italian forum I posted the idea that maybe a retro version of the Ambassador or Eldorado would be cool...to a man they shouted me down, stating that Guzzi should look forward, not back...funny isn't it? how things turn out? Incidentally, I think the V7 Classic is only gonna be available in the white/black/red finish we've seen in photos... 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Nov 8 2007, 1:02 PM EST I would love to see an Eldo/Ambo remake. The more cruiser st yled California tank is too bulbous and the seat/foot peg arrangement isn't as good as a standard Eldo set up. Good design is timeless and something that I always look forward to. I dare say that my V50s are as good looking as anything in the market today. The V7 classic will make a fine replacement, even if I have to get out a can of red paint. Put the Breva 1100 in the neo-retro Ambo and I might just be first in line. Either red/chrome or black/chrome please. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Opinion Polls
Nov 8 2007, 5:18 PM EST I wonder if a larger or more powerful V7 Classic is in the pipeline . Its the kind of bike I most like , and as its name suggests it will be one for longer term ownership . But I suppose it depends on what we all see as ''Classic '' . For me it is a bike I enjoy riding , regardless of where to , or weather , and when its parked , one I look back at as I walk away just to enjoy its lines . 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Nov 8 2007, 5:24 PM EST I do like those V50s...have you seen the Guzzi Respurces section? There's a section with press articles...one is about the V50III... Do you find this valuable? |

Nov 8 2007, 5:26 PM EST It's interesting, I would have it to have worn the 850 motor as in this frame Ithink it would have been awesome. In the V7 Classic page though, I posted a sepparate little opinion poll and most people seem to think that the 750 motor has ample power... Do you find this valuable? |

Mar 3 2008, 4:53 PM EST The only problem I have with the new Stelvio, is MG have gone in the same stylistic direction as BMW and Triumph - Square and angular looking. I always liked the look of the older BMW's and Triumph Tigers - 'bulbous'. Mind you, A stelvio would make a great everyday work bike. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
