A proud moment for Jane :4roz: and Barney :4roz: - they both feature in the latest issue of Gambalunga, the Moto Guzzi Club GB magazine:

FYI - the XB9S in the feature belongs to Timo from Finland, who joined us on the Norway and Sweden sections of the 2011 Buell Challenge.

Gambalunga (meaning Long leg), it's named after Guzzi's long stroke engine single cylinder racing motorcycle.

Thanks for the response. I'm very proud of Jane (and Barney of course) and we're very pleased with how the editor of Gambalunga has published the feature. It looks great in a glossy magazine :P....

Jane's Breva 750 has the 'old style' small block engine. The latest V7 variants have the new 'much improved' engine and transmission units which were introduced last year. There's an excellent feature here which explains all the updates.
