Don't like the styling on the Norge... looks like the bastard son of an 1100 RT and a Deauville. Much prefer the current one.

There's a certain 'PC800 parked too close to a radiator' look in there too :barf

The fairing on that Norge looks more like an RT than the current RT does

The Norge looks like a Cyberman from Doctor Who.

The designer always liked the indicators on the K100RS...

That Norge is the most disgusting thing I have seen in ages

It looks like a very bad chinese copy of an 1100RT :barf

Forget the Norge guys but a 1400cc Griso would be awesome!

why can't guzzi just give in and make modern 1400cc le mans, or is that too obvious?

are they scared they couldn't keep up with demand?

I wonder if they will - maybe something based on those concept bikes we saw a year or so back? Or do you mean a more retro flavoured Le Mans, something along the lines of the Paul Smart etc Ducatis?

I've always liked the Griso though. Looks totally impractical but if I had room (and the cash) for a 4th bike, and a 2nd Guzzi, it would be on my list .

Griso , If I was Shorter (6ft 6 ) I'd have one a real beauty :thumb2

these pics are very old . that bike ( norge ) is gathering dust in the r+d dept. it was in development back in the late 90's . the griso is a pre-production / show model . the rear caliper is underslung on its wooden s-arm

Yes I thought that'd it'd be impracticle before I had one but in fact it actually tours better than my old GS. Far more comfortable, probably quicker and with the OM screen better wind protection too. Have now fitted H&B hard panniers so should be even better this summer. Europe here I come again!

i'm thinking of a vaguely modern bike with very strong retro styling. the ducatis you mention would be a very good example of the kind of thing i mean, particularly the yellow one that looks like a 750GT.

not sure whether they sold very well though?
