Motorcycles were intended to be simple machines, not a crazy bunch of electronic devices to control something that nobody really needs.
This means that a lot of discipline is required, even when you feel like you've hit the wall or reached the limit.
[15] Galluzzi first worked for Opel,[12] and then for Honda's V-Car/Omega design studio in 1988, first in Offenbach, Germany and later in Milan.
[19] Piaggio and Galluzzi hope to bring a more cosmopolitan perspective than is possible working only in Italy, and branch out to such areas as electric vehicles that combine aspects of a motorcycle and a car, like the Renault Twizy and Audi Urban Concept.
[18] The 1991 900 Supersport, offered in full- and half-fairing versions, became a classic, finding a balance between honoring the tradition set by the Super Sport models of the 1970s while looking modern and fresh.
[22][23] Because Galluzzi is 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) tall, many of his best known creations — which feature low seat heights and high foot pegs (e.g., the Monster) — are better suited to their target buyer than their designer.
"[32] Galluzzi subsequently designed the Cagiva Planet[33] of 1998, a variant of the Mito,[12] followed by the 1999 Raptor and V-Raptor,[12][34] which used a Suzuki engine shared by the TL1000.
The two collaborated on the Moto Guzzi V12 series, with Le Mans, Strada, and X variants, displayed at EICMA in 2009.
The new 1400 is more radically modern, similar to the latest power cruisers, the Harley-Davidsion V-Rod and Ducati Diavel.
