The anesthesia is starting to kick in

The proper pronunciation is goot-see. The "zz" is pronounced like they are in "pizza".

italians they know how to build cars, bikes, guns, and maybe someday make a world :-)

@BruceBrown11 The definition of longitudinal is that the crankshaft runs parallel to the vehicle centerline. Transverse means it runs perpendicular to the vehicle centerline. It is not based on what "looks" sideways or what Harley does, it is standard engineering nomenclature. Occasionally, Guzzi's own marketing materials will say transverse simply to satisfy idiots here who think Harley's is the "right" way, but they also say "OHC" which it isn't. Trust me, Guzzi *engineers* know better.

@crispiegee1 "Gootsie" ... really funny :-)))
Built in Mondello , on the lake of Como, Italy : beautifull place... land of bikers, hundreds, all around, every week end, sometimes overcrowded and boring...

crispiegee1, you are correct about the pronunciation, otherwise you are wrong. It is indeed a transverse v-twin. Transverse means the cylinders are at right angles to the bike. If it was longitudinal, the cylinders would be fore and aft, not across as the are.
this reviewer sounds like he had a difficult time staying awake during his monologue....
