Good find Alex, thanks for posting.

Sad part is, most of those can be easily done.. yet they still won't bother!? :S

I'm afraid Guzzi might go by way of the Aprilia/Rotax motor... can't get over that one still, but all the rest are quite interesting. Oberdan should use the current 8V drive line for some of his sketch/studies... certainly the sport models would be more suitable with.
 
True, but I still enjoy the fact that important (Italian) bike designers still regard the marque enough to play around with renditions like these, there's still a lot of love for Guzzi in Italy. Would be awesome if they did something small again, like this Galletto :)

Galletto, cool. Agreed... but with Piaggio at the helm, can't imagine, you?

Click to expand...

They'd be stupid not to do it, i think there are a lot of bikers out there who are closet scooterists, something like this would sell to those guys who otherwise wouldn't be caught dead on one... I think it would also appeal to people who want to get into bikes but don't have the skills to start on a large one but also don't want to start on a vespa.

A Piaggio scooter branded Moto Guzzi? *that* might be the beginning of the end, to be honest...

Guzzi already used 3rd party (4 cyl) engines at some point, no? So using a Rotax engine doesn't shock me too much if it's in a cylinder size they're not currently making on their own. But what would be the point, at least with the sort of scrambler bike? What makes it different from a Pegaso or however the similar Aprilia is called?

I've heard a rumour coming (via via) from within the factory that the Norge is being redesigned. Any info on that here?
 
When i lived in Mandello in the 70's and 80's the factory employee factory lot was packed with Guzzi mopeds and scooters, the big bikes were saved for weekend rides, would be great to see that again. Face it, EVERYTHING with a guzzi badge is Piaggio, the more product they put out there the better, especially these days.
