Could it really be ?

For every action there's an equal and opposite re-action.
Some one some where will find a way into, or around it.
Bet ya boots on that one.

Well I guess / hope so.

One Euro4 thing - Before and after "cat" Lambda. Major PITA even when Factory Spec.
IIRC A couple of Triumphs did/do? have locked down CPU's that not even dealers can reset.

My mate who does Guzzis tells me that having been to Italy - (he's Italian so gets more info than most) - He is NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY.
So far pretty much every aftermarket pipe I have heard about for Euro4 Guzzi bikes actually makes them run worse.
tbh I am not really looking but so far I hear of nothing but disappointment.
I suspect a piggyback device is pretty much the only way. UNLESS CanBus gets in the way.
And here - The big nail in the coffin for new bikes - is noise. The cops know what a new bike should (not) sound like.

Wait a couple of years or 5 and with a bit of luck the energy density issue with electrics will be sorted.
We'll all be wearing microphones with loudspeakers fitted - going Brum, bruuuum! and making tyres squeal.

Maybe another reason to keep what you’ve got. Could be the last of a kind

After watching the actual video introduction, not just seeing the still image, it seems my contact was correct. He said actual announcement next spring, well, that's all lining up. The Daytona 765 has been removed as 2019 possibility and Triumph are announcing some new bikes in Spring, for sure, so the push from October to April or so is all shaping up to be true...

Easy answer to the locked down ECU, remove it. Problem solved.

I wonder if this is significant for the Rocket also??
