NTX and TT 900?

When looking at that which Guzzi should do, we need to percieve the brand within the Piaggio marque. I long for the return an upgrade of the 750 Breva. But the sharp lines and sharp sorted handling (up to 80 anyway) starts the marque self cannibalising, hence the V7, and now the V9. Guzzi are Piaggio’s competition to the Triumph Twins, Ducati scamblers, Kawa W800 and Harley. I would delighted to see a new V11 or LeMan, but with Aprilia in the marque, I see it don’t fit and neither does the CARC range.

Good point.
As Guzzi enthusiasts it’s easy to lose sight of the economic realities in modern Italy. Government contracts are smaller, massive government loans (gifts) have all but disappeared, fewer loopholes in the legislation.
Piaggio have got their work cut out. Good luck to them.
All the best

Do I see a future Convert owner over the horizon…

Only if it’s got a Bella motor in it. Actually that’s a bluddy good idea…

Let’s be in no doubt about this. What we desire as individuals may be poles apart from what sells. I wish it was the case that we could dial up a replacement to the V11 Lemans or 750 Breva knowing that the Guzzi factory could, theoretically, make it,

Guzzi have studied the market and taken notem they are not going to make a bike that ‘we’ want them to make beacause the same ‘we’ will not put our money where our mouth is,

Personally, I reckon a MK6 Lemans would hit the target but Piaggio have other Marques (Aprilia) covering the ‘perfomance sportsbike’ marketand are happy to let the V7 cover the classic end.
