i`m guessing much the same as my 12r 125bhp.

Its been kept a secret so far. The Guzzi 1200 8 valve engine did not exactly work well and for Guzzi fans the v7 range seemed lacking with sub 60bhp power. With Piaggio's backing and Aprillias r+d this bike has to deliver.

My wallet is twitching.

Back to topic, Eicma this coming week, Moto Guzzis new LC sports tourer will be revealed, it looks absolutely divine but what will the BHP be?

Hi Chris, according to the weekly comic the new Guzzi is 113 bhp and 77 ftlbs which is OK for me. 17.5 L tank and various gizmos including active aerodynamics whatever that is.

Must admit I'm interested :D

115 BHP . reports and blogs from eicma. fat 190 rear tyre , short wheelbase , two up touring base in mind, it looks exciting for me. Prices to be confirmed.

looking forward to a test ride. Under 16k for the full monty touring kit I`m in. Other than that the R12r stays.
