Rhapsody Inward Bluish - Moto Guzzi V9 Gannet Racer

This V9 Gannet Moto Guzzi is a pure racer alongside tight opinion together with proportions.It is a radical transformation from a relaxed cruiser configuration of the Moto Guzzi V9 "Roamer" donor bike, which got designed into a pure racer, reduced to the essentials alongside roughly retro elements together with spiced upward alongside the finest herbs of racing parts.

A reduced wheel alongside classic pattern elements on a modern V9 base, the Moto Guzzi was transformed into a timeless together with purist racer.

Although the wheel is from 2016, nosotros went "back to the roots" together with provided it alongside artificial respiration alongside the help of ii Keihin carburetors. These volition give the wheel the necessary boost for the sprint races together with give the conversion a flair of nostalgia.

Finest artisan move alongside manus made tail department out of aluminum together with partially adapted frame structure gives this conversion a pure racer look.

To top upward the racing configuration, the wheel is seasoned alongside the finest herbs from racing components such equally CNC Racing footpegs, Jetprime racing buttons together with IMA triple clamp, equally good equally diverse custom-made elements.

The pigment is a rare mixture of "scrubbed", high gloss shine, together with potent bluish - Rhapsody inward Blue.

The custom build was made inward collaboration alongside racing mechanic Stefan Fuhrer together with his squad Fuhrer Moto.

Stefan Fuhrer is old racing mechanic of Dominique Aegerter (now Moto2) together with Tom Lüthi (now MotoGP), alongside the latter he became the globe champion inward 2005 inward 125cc class. Now Stefan is the "brother inward crime" for the Gannet custom builds.

The Team:

The wheel is designed together with built past times Ulfert Janssen - Gannet Design together with Stefan Fuhrer - Fuhrer Moto.

Gannet Design's partner is Stefan Fuhrer (Fuhrer Moto), old racing mechanic of Dominique Aegerter (now Moto2) together with Tom Lüthi (now MotoGP), alongside the latter he became the globe champion inward 2005 inward 125cc class. Now Stefan is the "brother inward crime" for the Gannet custom builds. His racing know-how, precise engineering skills together with his squad of artisans are the perfect partner for the Gannet shenanigans.

Ulfert´s pattern studio together with Stefan´s workshop are but 100m apart, thence it is a perfect railroad train for smoothen together with quick interaction.

By putting heads together together with corking teamwork betwixt Ulfert together with Stefan made this build a precise translation of the initial pattern concept.

Design:

The projection started alongside roughly unloose sketches past times Ulfert to uncovering the skillful agency for morphing the Roamer proportions into a frontwards leaning racer look.

Ulfert: "First I worked on the opinion together with changed the frame angle from slanted backward into a frontwards leaning angle. I cleaned upward the architecture together with made a major diet of all the unnecessary parts.

I designed a novel potent retro racing tail department together with novel exhaust organization equally a signature which sweeps along the wheel similar a swoosh.

Once the overall administration was settled, I made detailed pattern renderings which nosotros used equally the base of operations for the edifice process.

I get-go modeled the racer’s novel tail department out of difficult foam to uncovering the skillful proportions together with it was together with thence used equally a template for the metallic work."

Building Process together with Parts:

The entire tail department is out of aluminum together with it is shaped together with hammered purely past times manus real exactly past times artisan Bruno Bertschy.

A novel raise sub-frame supports the spot together with cowl inward the elevated spot for a to a greater extent than racing superlative spot configuration together with fitted alongside a sparse dark-brown kilted spot which matches the Biltwell grips on the handgrip bar.

Stefan: "Our goal was to integrate the technical requirements together with engineering goals without affecting the pattern concept.

The fabrications of all hardware parts are sometimes complex, but ever tangible, such equally the frame construction, adjustment of the footrest organization together with grooming of diverse special parts.

The conversion of fuel injection dorsum to the carburetor was a challenge, where inward add-on to the adjustment of the transmitter wheel, too the electronics, ignition together with specially the sensor had to endure worked on together with fitted."

The fine pigment work, past times Walter Oberli, is a rare mixture of "scrubbed" together with high gloss shine alongside a thick layer of clear coat, which blurs the perception together with gives the rugged together with scruffy pattern a real smoothen appearance.

The tail department together with details are painted inward a soft gradation of bluish together with the cylinder heads were too given the same touching of bluish inward combination alongside an aluminum protection bracket - Rhapsody inward Blue.

The lower role of the principal frame was newly made, cleaned upward together with adapted alongside the novel racer ergonomics spot of the footrest past times CNC Racing (Pramac MotoGP racing supplier). The gear shifter got modified together with adapted to fit the Moto Guzzi gearing setup.

The front end fender got shortened together with equipped alongside a novel anchoring to fit the Öhlins forks.

A novel racing triple clamp past times IMA alongside a custom made steering stalk to fit the V9.

For the clip-on's nosotros got sponsored past times ABM Fahrzeugtechnik who equipped us alongside their multi clip together with roughly fine Synto Evo brake/clutch levers inward silver/blue/black to fit the color system of the bike.

The all dark racing command buttons from Jetprime give a menacing particular together with a reference to the fast frontwards theme.

For the lighting organization nosotros got sponsored past times Highsider together with the speed gauges are past times Daytona (Paaschburg&Wunderlich) which were fitted into a custom made bracket.

Electrical components are past times motogadget, such equally m-lock for keyless starting, bar destination blinkers, m-blaze together with m-unit for the command box.

The 18" front end spoke wheel is specially made past times Kineo to fit the novel fork distance of 210mm. The raise is too a 18" Kineo spoke wheel which got special aluminum comprehend plates.

The wheel is supported past times ii Öhlins Blackline raise shocks.

Although the wheel is from 2016, nosotros went "back to the roots" together with provided it alongside artificial respiration help past times ii Keihin carburetors. These volition give the wheel the necessary boost for the sprint races together with give the conversion a flair of nostalgia.

The transmitter wheel was adapted alongside the according dissimilar gearing. The flanges were specially made equally good equally the racing inspired air intake tubes.

The pronounced circular sweep of the exhaust pipage pattern gives a potent visual impact together with enhances the fast frontwards dynamic of the wheel fifty-fifty at a stand upward still. The twin pipes were bent together with welded together with smoothly blend into ii Leo Vince GP Pro trumpets, which brand already clear from a distance that in that place is a ii cylinder approaching.

Stefan: "What I similar best nigh this custom build is the coherence of the whole bike, where from the front end wheel to the raise wheel the smoothen transition from 1 element to the side past times side passes through.

It was of import for me together with Ulfert that nosotros solve together with adjust the private components inward such a agency that they give a coherent overall picture."

Ulfert: "What's special nigh this conversion is that it's a reduced together with minimalist pattern at get-go glance, but at a minute glance yous tin transportation away come across many custom parts together with special details. These stay discreetly inward the background to give a pure together with potent get-go impression. However, if yous dive into the bike, yous tin transportation away uncovering the sophistication inward detail.

Special thank yous equally good to Bruno Bertschy (metal work) together with Walter Oberli (paint) for their contribution together with fine work."
