Moto-Guzzi conversion by Italomotos from Dorsten

German lesson: Quite a few Guzzisti believe that the Bellagio’s lively drive and relaxed appearance contradict each other. Italomotos from Dorsten knows a solution with the Moto Guzzi 936 CR.

Italian design rarely gets bad reviews, and given that too M.oto Guzzi Bellagio, presented in the spring of 2007, nobody can complain about. Her dress goes well with casual strolling, her shapes leave room for the stroller’s self-expression and find a good compromise between baroque and custom style. Nonetheless, the bottom line is that the grade is unsatisfactory, the subject is missed.

Bellagio is anything but a loiter, much more a surprisingly concrete, well balanced and handy motorcycle with a stable chassis and decent brakes. Driven by a motor that pairs the crankshaft of the 850 Guzzi two-valve engine with the cylinders of the 1200 and thus draws its power from just under 940 cm³. During the first test drives, the test crew must have felt like horse breeders who cannot explain why a fiery-noble steed could arise from a rather arbitrary combination: This V-Twin has culture in every speed range, it is spontaneous and extremely easy to turn.

Robust, well-built motorcycles

Guzzi cautiously put the performance at 75 hp. Enough to arouse anticipation on country roads. Where again the shapes and the sitting posture described at the beginning interfere with what finally came up with Italomotos in Dorsten-Wulfen in Westphalia. “The Bellagio is not a cruiser,” groans Michael Nitzsche, the boss. He should know because he’s been trying to sell it under that name for the past five years. That’s why a copy went to his workshop five months ago: “The guys had an idea.”

The boys are mechanic Kevin Mainka and workshop manager Michael Scheidner, and they like robust, well-built motorcycles. Such as the Bellagio would like to be one in the depths of her iron soul. So they tore her clothes off and then covered her nakedness with the sporty vest of the V7 Racer, consisting of a chrome-plated tank and a compact one-man seat. Fitted after a number of brackets were made and assembled. The high handlebars replace handlebar stubs clamped under the upper triple clamp. Adjustable handles for clutch and brake make contact easier, the lonely Rizoma mirror ensures just enough consideration.

Mainka and Scheidner classified the standard two-in-two exhaust system of the Bellagio as absolutely dispensable, in the place of which they installed the crossing manifolds and the collector of the Griso as well as a slim Termignoni silencer. A pair of side covers had to be built, LED indicators on them, rear with integrated taillights and brake lights – done. K&N air filters, steel braided brake lines and a fully adjustable Wilbers shock absorber complete the upgrade.

The two mechanics named their creation 936 CR, which firstly names the exact displacement and secondly the more precise category: Cafe Racer. The warm-running two-valve engine is practicing this new role with a grumbling babble. The seat sample turns out to be just as pleasant, because although the footrests remained in their original place, the seating arrangement definitely suits casual sports excursions. Only those with very long legs would like the pegs a little further back. First gear slips in silently, and the smooth-running and easy-to-dose two-disc dry clutch provides the power connection.

And now finally there are curves

Searching for curves around Dorsten, that takes time. But it doesn’t get boring at all, because this engine uses its entire speed range, because it hangs on the gas very spontaneously, has somehow given its torque tag with its series airbox and exhaust and simply revs up greedily. Even genteel minds will catch themselves chasing the V2 into the limiter every now and then in search of even more tones.

And now finally there are curves. The Metzeler-Roadtec-tyred CR steers in a predictable and soft way, stays clean on the track without any effort and offers considerable reserves of lean angles. Especially in the second and third gear of the precisely engaging six-speed gearbox, the V-Twin pushes back out of tight radii with great vehemence, and the gas – thanks to the well-decoupled Guzzi cardan – can even be applied quite robustly. The front brake with two double piston calipers needs a certain amount of grip, but then also plays an effective and easy-to-dose basis. The fork speaks well and does not neglect its management tasks even on wavy asphalt. Michael Scheidner has prepared her for her new assignment with “thicker” oil. The Wilbers shock does its usual good job.

Urgent questions await an answer: Why did the Bellagio have to come to the Munsterland before someone woke up to kiss her? Because the prophet doesn’t count in his own shop. What are the small V7s against this robust country road sportsman? Sweetie. Is the CR also available without the chrome tank? Of course, the tank-seat combination of the V7 Spezial can also be adapted. Wouldn’t that look something like the legendary V7 Sport? Yeah, and you could paint them lime green too!

Michael Nitzsche and his people want to build a small series, but are for
individual wishes open.
