GTM Monster Builds

Cool. 2 into 1 into 2?

I think the headlight is perfectly sized and placed.
If I were to ask for anything, it would be to have the headlight mount made a little beefier. With the large fork uppers and the large exhaust tubes the little bracket looks a bit wimpy to me. Then again, I could be full of it since I'm no paragon of good taste.

Kind of, it's an X pipe, which has proven gains in the automotive world, and was similarly used on the V11Sports.
You are commenting on the Photoshop image, which I said please don't. I have no idea on what headlight or brackets I'll use yet. ;)

No worries, just best not to spend time talking about the Photoshop image, as it's just proof of concept stuff.
 
Still in prototype form, our #GTMCrossFire exhaust has 3.5" exhaust tips off each side. Internally baffled, it won't be as loud as it looks, but the stepped header design will give big power. Will be available for any #8VGuzzi without the side radiator or will require a relocate kit from us. #MonsterGuzziBuild #GTM #GTMotocycles

For those even remotely following this Forum or FB/IG over the years, I've been threatening a monster custom build for several years now. Well... the time has come. Under my new business name launch (soon), GT Motocycles or GTM in short, our first build is underway in-house @GTM as seen below. Since Guzzi never brought in the Bellagio, we're building our own version.
The ~140+ rwhp GTM 1380cc motor with RG custom cam is now having the frame built around it per below. Target weight is sub-450 lbs. This build may be for sale when done. Cost will be $35-45k+ depending on trim level. Plan is to build 3-4/year for now. All of our builds will be used bike CA titled and plated.
I am taking deposits on custom bikes - inquire if interested via email; Info at GTMotocycles.com
Our next v2.0 build will be more customized and wear a roots-style blower or a belt-driven centrifugal supercharger. Stay tuned.

Very crude Photoshop attempt below, don't pick it apart as it's a simple concept mock-up.

Todd certainly looks great! Just checking out the sight when I ran across the new custom builds,only wish I could afford your expertise.
hope all goes well, wish you the best in your new endeavor!
 
Hey Todd! Just out of curiosity: how are you getting 40+ more horsepower out of the 1398cc engine? After your exhaust and Fuel package, my Cali14 is only 100~rwhp. What kind of wizardry are you cooking up?? Lol
 
Wow that will be fun! It also reminds me I have a complete Duc Hypermotard SP front end in storage unit. 50mm Marz forks and giant brembo brakes. I was building a Triumph Scrambler with it but the cost of new triples to clear tank was prohibitive. Luckily your skill set makes these type builds doable.
 
Whoa what a tire roaster that will be. Once I rode the Audace the first thought was get this motor in a Griso. You also look to have tank clearance issues or like most mock ups the details are the challenge.
 
Our monster Guzzi build GTM-01 frame and CARC finally back from coating. Three-stage black-chrome pc. It’s black when not in direct sunlight. Now it’s time to put it together... She’ll be alive soon.
