Greg Field Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 What possiible reason could there be for keeping the Guzzi V configuration when adding water cooling? I think it's utterly retarded. Design a more amenable engine configuration, and really have something. That's just an opinion, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 2 Valves RULE! Water cooling makes a lot more sense (IMHO) than Guzzi's move to quatrovalvole. Better emissions and better durability, but I'd like see a more creative radiator design enhancing the V Twin rather than blocking the natural cooling design of Guzzi twin. Dual radiators under the jugs or maybe a radiator between the jugs with air flowing clear through and out into the rear fender area. A perimeter frame could help that happen.

Lets face it, if we mere mortals were to ride bikes based on their true abilities we'd all be riding VTR Hondas! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just an opinion, though Not reason, reasons: 1. sound 2. feel 3. to a lesser extent, until it becomes the norm, appearance. Amenable in what sense? Form? Power output? Exhaust noise?
