New Guzzi V7

Post by Supermofo »

Or should that be a V8 or V85 :think:

Looks nice though, although a shame they've cut the power so much from the V85TT

Still a good 10bhp more than the old V7111.

That's horribly bland. Like a 70s UJM. How to hide a quit unique engine in plain sight!

I do wonder if it's to leave them wiggle room to up BHP for new models in coming years rather than to just give you the proper engine straight up. As you say they probably think 10 is a big enough bonus for now.

If they're going to do retro, I would like to see a Lemon style machine.

That seems to be the Triumph trick.
