This one looks like the tank is photoshopped in.here is a more finished version of the bike, but it still has bungee cords and duct tape:

I sure hope this isn't what it's going to look like, in any capacity; http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2015/october/new-guzzi-v7-gets-chunky/
It looks like a V7 and a Cal 1400 mated. Weird to see Guzzi following a trend, instead of what they are long known for... Leading the way with bikes that look and work quite well out of the box.

I think and hope the same.If you ask me, this is a private build. All the components look old and scratched. I doubt if it's an OEM prototype.
John, all correct. Thankfully it's not the Nevada fuel tank... or is it? Hopefully the V7 tank swaps easy, or hopefully the cylinders and heads will.Looks like a V7 frame with different fenders and really fat, ugly tires. I suspect that's a V7 engine case as well. So, new jugs, new name.
Ian, already had a long running thread on this, so I merged your post. Good to see they have in on the U.S. site as well.
It's looking like it's a "long stroke" 2V head still, so they are only talking about torque #'s, which is ~45 lb.ft., up from the 37 for the 750. I don't yet have dyno #'s on my 820-2V kit (but I will finally soon). Compare that to Mike's 750-4V below, which is also 46 lb.ft., and that's not talking the power difference below. Red Trace is a stock V7, Blue is Mike's 750-4V. I should have #'s soon (finally as well!) on my 820-4V.My first reaction is "she's a no good". Interested to see the spec tho'. I wonder how it will fare compared to Todd's big bore kit?
I am within a picometer of selling my Tour as the size, weight and cruiser style is not really me. I was hoping for a smaller Norge but it looks like I'll be perusing other brands. Not sure what the replacement will be but not a cruiser. I find myself riding for long periods with the balls of my feet on the back edge of the floorboard. The last thing I wat is forward pegs.
