Moto Guzzi V12 concept - new pictures

[Aero]

More pics of the Guzzi concept bike. Some say they hate it, but bear in mind that it is the two wheeled equivalent of the concept cars that appear at car shows as a collection of styling and engineering ideas so that public reaction can be gauged. The factory can then decide which ideas will make it to production.

Not as good looking as the MGS01.

Agreed. A bit cartoonish, I'd say.

[TBone]

I like this one better.

[WitchCityBallabio]

I love it.

I hope they build it.

V12? Only gots two cylinders I can see.  

Looks like Honda figured out what to do with all the cooling fins that should have been on their rectifiers.

A Guzzi motor in what looks to be a racing chassis is kinda like lipstick on a pig.

I don't get why simplicity is such a hard concept to grok == if it isn't actively contributing to SOMETHING, take it off.

I'm no Guzzi fanboy, but I like the general style and applaud Guzzi for their design initiative.  The flip-up seat/tank combination is pretty cool, too.  

In detail, it is a bit busy, sort of like it was made of legos.  And whomever decided to use beige on some of the casings should be shown the business end of the Guzzi super-secret wind tunnel.

NOW, I WANT NOW!  
If i can get this in white it goes in the stable.

... here we go again

now accepting bets on it being stillborn...

We don't mention the wind tunnel in public

I've got two words, and they rhyme with fucking and hideous.  

[WitchCityBallabio]

Word has it,  that this is how it's shaping up.  Too bad. I liked the number plate look on the front and the QuatD style exhaust.

Pretty sure that those beige pieces were design mock up pieces probably made out of a polymer. Not the final product.

This looks like someone imported a Griso and the concept bike into Photoshop, then had their way with them.  It doesn't look like a factory product to me.

Now if they lose the stupid ribbed panels on the sides, it'll look like a reasonably normal bike.
 It certainly doesn't hold a candle to the MGS01 or the V7 Cafe classic.
...Terblanche must be on drugs.

Two observations...

1)  What's up with the heat sink looking things on the front?

2)  Why do a 2 into 1 exhaust when it's so much better looking with and exhaust on each side fo the bike.  That big can is hideous.

[falconati]

This would be on my 'buy' list.

On the Griso the oil cooler is on the RH side so a 2-1 exhaust is required.
