Side panniers on

After a long wait, the side panniers have finally arrived. This is how the 1100 looks now. Quite massive?

News from the Moto Guzzi stand at EICMA, Milan

My son and I visited the EICMA exhibition on Friday - this is what I saw there.

Norge 1200

• Looked really nice in real life. Much better than what I thought from the pictures I had seen before. And there was a lot of people around the Norge stand all the time.
• See a separate photo album -> Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 Photos.

Breva 750

• Breva 750T (T like Touring)
• New colors: iridescent white, full black. The whole bike is more paint covered now, notice the front of the tank and the side panels
• Silver wheels
• Chromed dashboard "cover" (from Nevada?)
• New chromed mirrors

Breva 1100

• Interesting new color: orange metal (or was it bronze?)
• New chromed mirrors
• New tank bag, the tank mount now covers the whole tank

Griso

• Redesigned (or optional?) rear mud guard (cool, much better than the original)
• Twin exhaust silencer (optional?)
• Small optional windscreen (err..)

California Vintage and Classic

• Nice paint jobs!
• Vintage looked like a cool real vintage bike
• No info about technical changes, sorry.

I also had a short chat with a Guzzi presentative on the stand. He was quite enthusiastic about the Griso and said that the new 2005 models (Breva 1100 and Griso) are selling really well. The factory is obviously running in three shifts.

Action pictures from the route Napoleon

I had a chance to have a late autumn ride along the Route Napoleon with my son today. He took these shots just before the rain started.
