Heard the saying, don't look a free gift tank in the mouth. When I dent it real bad, it will be painted matt black, until then ..............................
Todd I wasn't trying to make a V9 replica as in the 936CR, why would I waste 30k to make it look like a 13k bike? All the silly shit (expensive) I've done is because nobody else has the balls to follow through on a design principle to see if it works. We ride Guzzi's because we like to be different, we like to step away from the normal sheep herd clones and be individuals, I just took it one step further.
Now if I had the dosh ................... 916 Ducati crank has same 66mm stroke as Bellagio but the crank webs are much thinner, the whole crank is shorter and it weighs about half.
New billet crank case much shorter, small diameter clutch to fit under barrels. So with a very short engine length, shifted further forward for better weight bias, plus allows for longer swingarm with a shorter wheelbase.
Turn heads 90°, frame consists of two sub frames, fore and aft. Massive airbox in the V, fuel tank on top of gearbox, all electrics in seat hump. Oh, and carbon fibre wheels
