OOOOOO! Thats gonna be a big one! With the original throw crank thats 1325 cc ?? Which pistons are you using? Stock barrels bored out + new liner I guess..... Don't keep us guessing With the 82 crank of a cali instead of the 78 or 80 of the daytona.The pistons are ducati 1198 and the stock barrels yes with a cast iron liner! And then there's the topping on that what will stay a little mystery for a while longer! The handy man who is reworking my heads claims 140 a 150 nm ( even withoud the mystery topping)...no clue what that will be in american or english? If i calculated it correct it would be 1400 cc?

Thanx Soren (sorry..have no clue how to get the different O?) You have a friendly face if i look at your pic and you discribe the guzzi feeling perfectly! To explain why this old lump of metal does so much for me? but i just enjoy all off it...the improving, changing...the shake when revving the gas...and on!

Thanx evreybody for the welcome! Jup...i matched the gear and the V10 engine but am not finished yet with the building so you might me faster than me...my ownbuild gives me so much work but when the 104 mm bore gives his first kicks it will be worth wile!

Thanx Michael! One always looks at the other for where they live and how great it is and sure Holland is a good place to live....in general its a bit crowded but thats relative in compare to new york or LA....compared to that amsterdam is a small city...in the US you have space, we miss that! And culture...thats in the people? But ok...i'm drifting away...v11? a beautiful timeless machine like offcourse only Guzzi can make and already made with several older machines like the v7 sport and older but thats not my thing...the realy older i mean. The V11 is an icon and a saviour for guzzi!

Well...what to say? I'm Peter, 46 years old an after a breef harley dream moment i stumbled some 20 years ago on guzzi and stayed there! Have the problem of not loving original so thats why my bikes are never finished! I'm here for the Guzzi feeling, the info etc but have no v11. I do have to 6 gears in my own build bike and the ''quota'' and a centauro 97 coming. Further i have a norge 08 that i'm repairing after a crash but that will not stay! Hope to have a nice time here gents! Sorry..dont have much pics on this pc...
