LowRyter Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 So if this is a 90 degree Vtwin longitudinal crank, why isn't it predecessor to the original V7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 So if this is a 90 degree Vtwin longitudinal crank, why isn't it predecessor to the original V7? Designed by different engineers. Ing. Guilio Carcano has been emphatic (as was Umberto Todero) that the Mulo engine had naught to do with the V700 motorcycle engine they designed, outside of the V configuration.

That motor certainly came from a utilitarian heritage. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Kudos to author Robert Smith for getting the origins of the Moto Guzzi big twin right in this December, 2020, article on an interesting Eldorado for Motorcycle Classics magazine: https://www.motorcycleclassics.com/classic-italian-motorcycles/zm0z21jfzols/ "(That the V7 engine was developed from Guzzi’s “mechanical mule” military project is now refuted by most authoritative sources, including marque specialist Greg Field in his book Moto Guzzi Big Twins.)" 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
