Battle of the Supercharged Pushrod V- Twins 350's ???

Post by smotorboy »

Hello All,

Look what I found on Facebook !! A truly Worthy opponent for the "Baron" to compete with at Bonneville in 2017 MAYBE?

Moto Guzzi vs Moto Morini..........A matchup of perfect proportions...

Search facebook : Mike Noonan Moto Guzzi for two addition pictures and a little info and a short video....

As per the facebook info, he hit 125 mph at Bonneville on a private non timed run.... That is impressive !

If accurate, the Guzzi is everybit as fast as my Morini !

Killer matchup for sure... I've seen 124.1 mph after 1.35 miles of run at El Mirage (that is all the room there), and I'm 99% sure on the Bonneville 3 mile course (2 miles of run and 1 mile of shutdown) 125 mph, plus change, is in the Baron right now as it sits...

Fun !

Very cool! I'm torn about who to root for - I've been a "Guzzi guy" since '83, but really like my K2. :)

I also like the Guzzi, and came very close to going with a V35 for the Baron ....

If one had been available when I was looking for a nice core bike, then it would most likely have been my choice....

I'm working up the strengths and weakness of each bike, and will list them soon in a new posting....

I am reviewing all the specs as I need to know just what I have to deal with concerning Mike Noonan's racer...
