Maybe it will come to Europe next year?

It is 300cc Most of the Hondas that I saw in Brazil had drum brakes, rear and front.

Well obviously Guzzirider has it correct. How?

Obviously it is not a Gilera

To take the bad look of the Quiz forum, I thought that we better have a 3rd quiz before the end of the year. This bike is obviously a with engine size of

Technically, yes.

Snap I got another email yesterday from someone with a broken spring (they were trying to get the faceplate off). So it goes on. And on. Snap Soren, if boss is the same word in Danish, why were you trying to find a translation? I've just looked at Apple's dictionary on the laptop. It says boss – noun a round knob, stud, or other protuberance, .... • Mechanics an enlarged part of a shaft. So as you can see it is the right word. If you are desperate for another, try knob or protuberance. Good luck.

Gosh, the Forum is getting old. Even Bendy.

Big country, long roads, high mountains. It's always nice to imagine.

I have the dates in my calendar from the first time that you mentioned it. Plan to be there and will confirm whenever it is possible – or becomes necessary.

How do they manage the clip ons? They're obviously pretty high.

Sure there can't be much left of the original Scura. If your 'friends' hadn't already parted it out (and swapped in all the old crud of the day) they will do now.

Unfortunately I'm home again. I couldn't stay longer as I have to leave on Thursday for Bologna.

for 2010 European-ish meet, but the thread is closed. Oh well... some other time.

No, I think that was because the same link was already in another thread, so the admin intention was only to avoid duplication. All information and pointers to interesting items are appreciated.

Now I'm convinced that Guzzi got their badge wrong. It must be a V8, not an 8V. You have to laugh really. Last night the 'reserve' fuel warning light come at 83.5 miles – a particularly bad figure, but exactly the same as it gave a few weeks ago at another 'low'. When I filled up and checked the display, the average mileage reading said 19mpg! 19!! If the display is in US galls, that is 12.4 L per km :lol:

and fuel consumption?

Not really because it has always been the same (before the dealer oil change) TPS could be off. That's something I said to the dealer / service agent, but he doesn't believe in attaching the Axone at service time! I said to him that the original dealer had done nothing at first service apart from change the oil filter: Axone definitely wasn't used. tps wasn't checked / re-set. This other dealer, the 'new' one, considered that to be perfectly normal at service / first service. Services are just oil changes, apparently! Pete also finds the 8V to be thirsty. I don't know how thirsty, quanitatively. It would be interesting to hear from Paul, after his European trip, right enough.

And mostly very un-PC as well. Especially Guzzirider, who is known for his peculiar preferences. TR6 over a midget, indeed.

£15,000 would have bought one, last time we were looking at this topic (about a year and half ago?). A number of first owners seem to be selling now. Maybe the market will soon by flooded (by all 5 or 6 machines!). Maybe they are all due for a new engine now.

I think Moto Strada's prices are always very high. They are well above the amount being asked for similar bikes that I've seen elsewhere / locally. As you say, maybe European sales are keeping prices in bigger dealers high – though I suspect that these guys are just on the high side anyway.

In the other thread where I mentioned this trip, I compared it to a Triumph trip to Sardinia direction which is much longer and much cheaper. Triumph vs MG... eh, Guzzirider?

Put your info in a post, then I'll add it to the top post list. Thanks
