i`m guessing much the same as my 12r 125bhp.

Its been kept a secret so far. The Guzzi 1200 8 valve engine did not exactly work well and for Guzzi fans the v7 range seemed lacking with sub 60bhp power. With Piaggio's backing and Aprillias r+d this bike has to deliver.

My wallet is twitching.
Usually it's your fingers twitching when you have to get your wallet out!! :wink:

Hi Chris, according to the weekly comic the new Guzzi is 113 bhp and 77 ftlbs which is OK for me. 17.5 L tank and various gizmos including active aerodynamics whatever that is.

Must admit I'm interested :D

115 BHP . reports and blogs from eicma. fat 190 rear tyre , short wheelbase , two up touring base in mind, it looks exciting for me. Prices to be confirmed.

looking forward to a test ride. Under 16k for the full monty touring kit I`m in. Other than that the R12r stays.
