callison Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hey, I just came up w/ a great slogan for the new t-shirts! "Moto Guzzi - the ride starts here!" Perfect!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big J Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 The irony being that Mother Honda, in all her wisdom(?), saddled the VTEC VFR with a dain-bramaged version of the real vvt tech used in their car engines, so that the pre-VTEC v4 engine makes more power throughout the range than the new; the "new & improved" engine only feels like it hits stronger when the VTEC kicks in because the low-rev performance has been somewhat strangled! Couple this with significantly more ex$pen$ive valve-servicing intervals, and you see why the pre-VTEC VFRs are holding their value on the used market so well, while the VTEC models sales are plummeting as word gets around... What does this mean for us? It means that if Guzzi can get to market with some integrated bags on a sportier Breva or Griso, they might be able to siphon off some of Honda's lost VFR sales [since Triumph as also just stubbed their toe on the redesign of the ST...] 62942[/snapback] The word is that they're wired up wrong from the factory! Has Luigi got any Jap cousins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steve_W Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 ...[since Triumph as also just stubbed their toe on the redesign of the ST...] They did? The bags suck, but other than that the thing rocks. Motorcycle Consumer News slagged it, and while I trust those guys, I really think they got a bad one.

g.forrest Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 [ i hate americans they;re allways trying to make you have a nice day ! My facts are straight.Barbara Boxer & Diane Feinstein & the rest of the democrats who've locked up the California legislature & keep saddling us with more & more poorly written, ill-conceived & horribly implemented legal impedimenta are about as right wing as Trotsky. Buy a vowel, get a clue: whatever it takes, you need a little perspective! The fact that you want to deny the results of demagoguery throughout history & plead that the prime examples of what left wing politics produces does nothing to contradict the fact that Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Robespierre et al were & continue to stand as the shining examples of left wing political icons. The left wing as the "warriors of freedom" would make any of the real people who died fightiing for liberty in the French or American Revolutions puke. Since my degree is in economics, I think I have a better grasp of the subject than most. At least good enough that my friends won't watch the news with me anymore 'cause I start pointing out the lies, the d@mn lies & of course, the statistical fallacies used to prop up their specious arguments. Oh, & btw: I wasn't exactly born w/ a silver spoon in my mouth, buddy. The only money anyone in my family has had has come from working for it, & scrimping & saving it. Socialist don't respect that; it's against their political agenda of increasing the number of voters dependent upon the public largesse, who then reelect the socialist overlords like good little sheeple... Since CA isn't going to let anyone take advantage of the "under 500" quota w/o a fight, I don't think that MGNA is too far off the mark wanting a 50-state bike to simplify their lives. Their argument that the CA dealers are going to bail in large numbers if they can't have a 50-state bike from the outset is likely invalid, since any dealer worth their salt doesn't consider someone more than 200 miles away to be their "competition." Remember that "Do it for the children" is the battle cry of an enemy of freedom. Ride on, Your friendly neighborhood libertarian 62797[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
