I don't think I said Guzzi *didn't* make a 'Desmo' model. I've just never heard

facts. If you put "moto guzzi" and krause into Google, you'll get over 4000
hits, so I guess they made a 'krause' model also (using Harry's logic!).


One might think an ex-Army Corps of Engineers ossifer who now teaches
math would know how to set up a boolean search in a search engine,
especially if a math-disadvantaged English major can do it.

How about a belt-driven desmo valve train on a Guzzi? Here's one of 289
hits I got by putting together a proper search.

Enough of this nonsense.

I mentioned it earlier. Hans does nice work. But, it's not a Desmo model Guzzi.
It's a one-of that most likely was *not* owned by Kevin. The Nederlands Moto
Guzzi Club is the largest Guzzi club in the world.

The American 'club' is not really a club, but a way for the 'president' to make
money selling a magazine subscription.

Of course, you know all this because you're able to put together a boolean
search in a search engine. Try-- "moto guzzi" desmo--in your search. You'll find
Hans' pictures easily. No engineering experience needed!

What's your point, John? Are you STILL trying to say that Moto Guzzi
didn't make a Desmo model? Are you really saying that?

Well, I was kinda hoping you'd realize you may have made a mistake. I'm really
trying to help you out here. Harry and I have found some pictures which showed a
'desmo' like modification to the valves of a Guzzi engine, but that wasn't
produced as a Guzzi model.

Again, answer the question, are you REALLY trying to say that Guzzi
didn't make a Desmo? One year, and one year only, 1971, same as the
Milli GT.
