Got out all day yesterday with the only real silver Devil bike 2012 Griso se. The new Roller Motor is a Amazing mill. Yes it is quieter! The fueling is well I almost hate to say it, it is about perfect! unless you make a mod just leave it be. The cam profile is spot on for LINEAR power from idle to the red line!! NO HUMPS OR STUTTERS ANYWHERE! The sacrifice is the 5,500k turbo hit felling of the older flat tappet mill, but this engine is so good who cares. This Motor makes all the right noises it just makes them in a little more hushed tone.
I always said the New Guzzi is like Ann Margaret in a cocktail dress wearing combat boots...she just traded the hobnails for doc Martins.
Wish stella was a roller now, but the flat tappet mill Is really a charmer, I have noticed that the ROLLER is a bit smoother feeling running, just a tiny amount but that may just be a motor to motor variation.
AS TO THE FUELING what I mean is it is perfectly rideable as is, not that a revision to richen up is not a good idea, richening it up is still a good idea in my book to get the engine temps down a bit. BUT the lean surging is not present at small throttle openings at parking lot speeds. like the late flat tappet map. Re-map would still allow the thing to rev a bit quicker and cleaner, and what is great in town now could only be a bit better.
