I like this one better.

I agree with TBone

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.

A freind of mine said that looks like a well done photo edit. the headlights color looks a bit off.and the area above where the cylinder meets the frame looks like it was darkened just to produce a shadow effect where you can tell by the shine spots on the bike that the light would be going directly on that.

looks great though. wouldn't mind one if i could afford it. hell maybe when i'm out of college.

The Piaggio rep was at our recent rally and brought some "secret" factory pictures with him. The V12 looks like it is currently named the Strada and while it keeps the best aspects of the design, the front end and headlight (while naked) is more normalized. It still had the sweet under bike exhaust, the nice fender, plate bracket off of the rear wheel, and seat.

The bike was quite attractive. There's also a rumor that it might be liquid cooled, which would really be something as then they could wring some real horsepower out of it.

It was beautiful and he hinted that it will be available within 3 years. I can't wait.

Much better looking that that half assed thing above.

I prefer the sound of an air cooled twin. guzzi is known for having amazing engine sounds. However I am interested to hear the sound of a liquid cooled traverse v twin. That new motus motorcycle has a liquid cooled traveres V4 that sounds great.

But I like the simplicity of the air cooled engines the most. Not as much crap to fiddle with.

 CX650 Honda...sounds a lot like a Moto Guzzi, with a bit less mechanical noise. The exhaust note at speed, is very reminiscent of a Ducati or Guzzi.
