Hard-hitting Norge review

[kendenton]

 

[crispiegee1]

The long-haired, bald guy was kind of a stoner.   And they all look uncomfortable holding the microphone.

[radlefty]

Geez, you would think they could at least pronounce  Moto Gootsee properly. And maybe it was just the camera angle, but they didn't seem to hold a line very well. What a lame review, but at least they liked it  

[CptBeaky]

Somebody get these guys a boom mic, or better yet, get me to do it. I promise I'll figure out what I'm going to say BEFORE the camera's rolling, and I'll actually shoot epic shots of the bike being ridden instead of shakey lazy rides.

Added now that I finished watching it:

Oh man, the half-minute of dead air at the end followed by a cut back to the first speaker and then before you can tell if he's finished his sentence it's over and they show the logo...

Can someone PLEASE tap me in for this?

[st ryder]

The statement that one needed to get to know how to ride the bike was well supported by the sound track of the opening shot when the rider, going uphill coming out of a turn, shifted up twice in less than 50 feet. Real mature riders too, exactly the "ST" type.  

[prshguy]

Yeah dude, like...for sure.

[stevent]

Lame brains, at least they liked the bike, I think the Norge is cool as shit.

[hmadams]

Who are these jokers?  First off they can't hold a line and second Italian bikes like the revs up.  The way they were riding that bike it wouldn't last 10K miles.  It was like the old Fiat's sold in America, American's lugged them to death and their reliability suffered. When I was in Italy I say Fiat's with 500 km's on them, because they run the crap out of them.  In the upper rpm's this bike will move and will have no problems scrapping parts, they handle exceptionally well--this from a guy coming off a Ducati.

I dunno, my dad's  Moto Guzzi is 35 years old and he never takes it above 4000 rpm.

[Orson]

Above 5000 rpm is a magical realm.

On other bikes, you crank up the throttle for a pass and it may elicit a smile.

A Guzzi above 5000 rpm...the clouds part, angels on Guzzi V-8s descend from the heavens...a thousan electric guitars set to 11 blare...it's like a religious experience...or a UFO sighting...I can't decide which  

[Baz]

I am amazed someone trusted a bike to these guys.

[Geoff]

Not much of a review.

[kendenton]

Not much of a review.

Exactly.

[surfsup]

they do make gorgeous bikes - with real world specs (power, performance, and maintainability)

so if guzzi ever grows any resemblance of 'product support' over here, they'll rock the american bike world... !

[soonerstan56]

Gee, I learned I've been pronouncing it wrong.
It's a Nor-gay!

Soonerstan

[prshguy]

Seriously?  I even asked the dealer about the pronunciation.  

[kendenton]

I've heard from several folks the correct is Nor-jay, but at Americade the NA service manager insisted on calling it the 'Nordge'.  

[Orson]

I thought it wuz pronounced "Norr-heh"  

[Shhted]

Nor-guh, gently roll the "R".

If you say "Norj" may your morning coffee be bitter and fraught with grounds.
