I am curious, the last thing I heard about the future was back in 2016 that we should watch the Motor show announcements in Oct of 2017 and Oct of 2018. That was in response to questions about the future of the Stelvio and the Griso since Moto Guzzi had said they would not make the 8v motor compliant with the new Euro 4/5 emission standards. Of course last year we got news about the Moto Guzzi V85 replacing the Stelvio. So I have been hoping that the announcement this year will be about a replacement for the Griso. While I do like the V85, I am fearful that if the news this year is suppose to be about a replacement for the Griso I fear it may have the same 850cc 80hp motor the V85 has. That... underwhelming but I guess acceptable in a dual sport, although really I think they should have done much better than that. But in a bike that is suppose to replace the Griso, that would be a huge mistake.
