Beautiful, but Todd forgot the back end.

GTM Monster Builds

Nope, not needed...tail light and blinkers are integrated in the frame. Rear fender is mounted on the swing arm, no extra weight or junk. Just clean, simple, light weight and totally perfect! It feels lighter and more balanced than my v7 ii with so much more power and ability...just putting around town is such a thrill, I'm still smiling!
LOL, sounds so much like my uncles old tractor it is amazing. You sure that a Guzzi engine and not a Massey Harris?
So, my first introduction to Rose was a frame and engine that GTM had just started and a Griso green v7 tank. I told Todd I had to have it and let's work on making it a reality and we did. I've been riding since '79 and this is the best bike ever! They finished the bike when I was out of town on business and Todd took it to fine tune her in the canyons, when I got back I was honored to meet him at his home in Malibu and take Rose and the GTM .5 (the build that started it all) out for a long ride. Keep in mind, she had new tires, it was my first ride on her, I didn't know the roads and I'm rusty in the twisties. I'll get better, but here's the highlights of the ride and I had an ear to ear smile the whole time! Todd & Co. @ GTM take pride in their work and they're making it right, thanks guys! Better rides, videos and genuine good times to come!
You're a lucky man!
I've only been riding Guzzi's for about 3 years. Before that it's been Japanese bikes and I've ridden a few Harley's. What I've noticed is that Guzzi riders tend to be stuck in their ways. At their core, they are unique and powerful but need the modern flare they deserve. I may get shit for saying all this, but the brand as a whole needs to modernize without losing it's classic character and Todd/GTM are doing this. I believe the GTM 2.x's offer a ride that is nothing like a Guzzi has ever been and I love it! Yes, I am a lucky man and I'm taking full advantage of it. These bikes look like a piece of art that you can't stop staring at but, you can jump on it, fire it up and they perform exceptionally well. They are making Guzzi's modern masterpieces right here in America which makes it even better!
OMG!
Like Dr. John of the past, Mandello needs you.

Quick question here, on the GTM frame two posts up what purpose does the brackets that hang down from the 'S' bend on the spine serve?
Do they mount to the back of the heads?
Thanks, Chris.

GTM-01 got to stretch it's legs a little more again this past weekend. Man is it flat out incredible. No other words come to mind.

Beauty.
For those not on social media, though I feel like I’m wasting time posting here on this... Our good moto industry friend Robert (who worked for Guzzi/Aprilia last decade), bought a new 2017 Griso last year to build a GTM-02. It has begun. Reveal will be at The One Show in Austin 2020.

Sucks being 21, because all i can do is hope for the day that I can have one built. Hopefully Todd will give me the chance to do so.
Never a waste of time Todd, I, and I’m sure others don’t do social media so always good to see what GTM is doing.
