Solid rumor mill has been saying V9R. There's enough there to confirm the 852cc engine, and not the 749cc V7, outside of the visually obvious cylinders and heads; V9 single speedo/headlight, upper black frame and V9 side covers... all would confirm V9. Strange one is the old V7 swingarm and wheels.Who says that the engine decpicted is really the v9 one? Could remain 700 ccm with only V9 parts?
Officially, no.Ohlins makes rear suspension for the V7/V9?

Officially, no.
My guess is Ohlins would only appear on the V9 Racer, but could certainly be retro-fitted to the V7s.
This is what many have wanted, and it seems they might deliver. While I'm interested, I just don't know if I'd be willing to sell a bike that I've finally got through all of the bugs to get another and have to do all the same again. Here's a question for Todd and other suspension experts. So they fit some nice shiny Ohlins on the back, if there is no upgrade on the front and the Ohlin springs aren't weight specific to the rider, a guy or gal is still going to have to do some tweaking, correct? If the new package included better engine, better suspension front and rear and better brakes, then maybe I'd bite.
A bump from 48ish to 55ish hp in not enough for me to bite. The "Racer" needs a racer specific motor then it would be cool.
You have access to dyno #'s on the V9? I can't find any. I'll have my RentAGuzzi.com V9B tomorrow, and after some R&D this weekend, I'll try to get it on the dyno for a baseline dyno run. I would be shocked to see even 50 rwhp. My guess is ~45-ish as delivered.Dyno reports are saying 40ish for the V7 and low 50's for the V9.

Part of my R&D is going to see if the 4V head I have fits on, and/or how feasible making a 4V head with the new head shape, meaning I'll be casting them.
