The cantilever system was used on some later models like the 1100 and the V11. The most recent sports model from Guzzi, the really nice looking but expensive MGS01 Corsa, went to an Ohlins single shock mounted vertically as on Ducatis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635428184895066582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-46572955022658417812011-02-16T11:17:25.080+01:002011-02-16T11:17:25.080+01:00N° 1 is my favorite.Some like them raw.

You won’t get me on that path. The 90° V-twin is a marvel: I drove a Honda CX 500 to Marrakech in 1985, two sitting up ... and back, but the Guzzi is so much better.<br />Technically, the ones with a cantilever system – I don’t see any shock-absorber on the right, but maybe there is a single one on the left, dunno – appeal to me, especially in the case of a shaft-drive. And now, I suppose it’s all 4-valve heads and everything. My spine (and a bit lower too) feels shivers of pleasure in anticipation.
