Norge. The new Guzzi tourer

[mdude]

Me think it looks good. But it seems to me that the lower part of the fairing might be designed as aftermarket add-on parts. Take those parts off and this bike doesnt look half bad. A LOT better than the fugly new Beemers at least.

I wonder if Guzzi has checked trademark rights to use that name in America. It has been a long time since "Norge" has sold refridgerator/freezers here. Many have never heard of them, but we medium-old guys might have trouble poudly telling our buddies we're riding a Norge.

 

I hate to wish difficulty on theireffort but it would be forunate for the name to be blocked here and force them to use a name that roughly translates: "handsome, powerful creature" But "Icebox?" Oh, no . . .

 

"Grantourrismo" would look nice in stylish script.

The original GT Norge (from: http://www.mgcn.nl/dameijer/ )

Nice looking bike in my opinion.

 

Doh, AdamofKC beat me...

 

As Emily Littella used to say- Never mind.

[Guest Nogbad]

Since when has 1133cc been a 1200?

 

I think it's ugly. If it sells enough to be profitable I will be surprised.

[al_roethlisberger]

That's really nice looking... good going Guzzi

 

 

If it performs well, and is reliable, I think they'll have a hit on their hands.

 

It looks a lot like a Yamaha FJR-1300 interestingly though:

Lets have some exciting bikes Guzzi- you know you can do it. It's rapidly turning into a company that will only attract boring old farts- maybe Griso excepted.

 

The Norge reminds me of a BMW RT

 

Lets have a road legal powerful sportsbike- all the other manufacturers can manage it so screw Piaggios strategy of making it into a cruiser only brand.

 

There- I feel better for that rant and I will take my medication now.

Oh boy!!!

I'm going to get one of these @ dealer cost...maybe less

BECAUSE NO MOTORCYCLIST IN THE U.S. WOULD BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH

A "NORGE"

DO these guys even know anyone in the U.S.?

It will be a laughing stock. It's the equivlent of calling it the "TURD"

"Hey baby check out my brand new bike...it's a TURD / NORGE. same difference

It's a cultural thing. Think again M.G.

[beauchemin]

The Norge looks like the offspring of a Breva and FJR1300.

 

Guzzi could have done a lot better in the styling (and naming) department. Very disappointing.
