Oh noes! Piaggio web intern strikes again, V7 Clubman Racer just a concept
Oh cruel fate. We went over the moon during EICMA when we read the first line of the official press release for the Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Racer: "NEW MODEL 2010." Asking for pricing and delivery dates when I spoke with Piaggio today, all I got was an awkward silence followed by, "Uh, yeah, that's nowhere near market. Most those parts on there are the only ones made." So this is another mistake like the misnaming of Terblanche's V12 concepts!? "Ha! Uhmm, yeah. I'm afraid so."Intern, whoever you are, just know that a lot of people really really hate you right now. And, uh, be a dear and take that release down, which is still up as of the time of this article publishing. Yeesh.

All I want are the Arrow Special Parts megaphones... any info on those? Are they an existing design for another make or model? Can they be purchased? Have you seen them on any bikes that is regularly parked on a deserted street? Thanks

Ha, this means I didn't betray my baby, SpeedTriple
1050 II, because this honey doesn't really exist.
And she was slow on paper anyways.
hahahaha
nooooooooooooowhy! i'm gonna go cry now.
Everytime there's a bike that makes sense, it get the axe. I hope at least they offer the parts to turn a V7 into that bike. Kind of how KTM does the 'Power Parts' with their models.
http://www.ghezzi-brian.com/ they will prob fix you up.. they re the official tuner or something..g-b are the people who make the mg-01 for guzzi
Awww, that sucks!
On the other hand now I won´t have to justify paying what would probably have been in the vicinity of 9000€ for a bike that might have a hard time keeping up with some maxi-scooters.
I think they might of used the new Arrow 2/2 pipes from the Triumph Bonneville/Thruxton. Pretty pricey but from what I've heard quite nice quality.
Go make it Guzzi, but only if it's got some trousers to go with that pretty mouth.
Actually this is good news because I wanted to pick up a v7 cafe classic anyway, which I would have customized. Knowing that the clubman was just a concept means I won't have to wait another year before it hits American shores.
I asked Arrow about pipes for my 77 Le Mans. No. Dammit. Want.
Disappointing… Until I saw the Triumph Thruxton Café edition which actually is coming in 2010.
Moto Guzzi need to get it together, if the V7 had of been 1200CC capacity along with this V7 Clubman racer they would have sold millions. Anybody who has been to Italia and dealt with the factory realises management has no idea.
