Breva 750 is easy and
instinctive to ride, inspiring
immediate confidence in the
rider. Its compact size,
ergonomic riding position and
easy handling are all precious
characteristics in city
traffic, but the Breva 750 is
also fun to ride on mixed
roads, solo or with a
passenger.
Merit of the short
wheelbase and mechanics, with
the highly effective double
cradle frame in high tensile
steel and steering geometry
designed to facilitate entry
into bends and rapid direction
changes. Riding pleasure is
enhanced by the electronic
injection, providing smooth
progressive power and constant
efficiency.
The Breva V 1100 has all
the credentials for success on
today’s fiercely competitive
market, and is Italy’s best
ever answer to growing demand
in the “naked” segment, now
Europe’s most important area
of the motorcycle market. The
Breva excels as an
unexaggerated tourer and a
true all-rounder: it provides
plenty of reasons for passion,
but also has a passion for
reason.
Comfortable, easy to ride,
lavishly equipped, and
technically advanced, the
Breva V 1100 is perfect for
intensive daily use. It is
made with everybody in mind,
Guzzi fans who would never
ride anything else, ex-Guzzi
riders returning to the fold,
and everybody seeking to
discover the pleasures of Moto
Guzzi’s unique riding style
Moto Guzzi shows its
sporting soul in its newest
“naked”. This evolved form of
the 90° twin cylinder 1200
features new solutions in its
design and chassis while
giving a new meaning to rider
comfort.
Just one look at it tells
you that it will soon become a
cult item for real
enthusiasts. The graphics are
the same as on competition
models, the stylish front
discs and the “carbon fibre
effect” exhaust that suggest
speed give an immediate
impression of the 1200 Sport’s
character. The attention to
detail is typically Italian
and its Moto Guzzi DNA and
high-tech injection system
make it one of those machines
that is best appreciated from
the saddle.
The definitive Griso 1100
is here at last and is clearly
refusing to be slotted neatly
into any conventional
category.
As befits the latest heir
to Moto Guzzi’s unique
motorcycling traditions, the
Griso 1100 embodies innovative
technical solutions and bold
styling.
No compromise has been made
in turning the original
concept into reality around
the magnificent new V-Twin
engine. And like the concept,
the reality of the Griso is
guaranteed to amaze and to
offer a unique riding
experience.
The Gran Turismo for the
21st century is born… at
Mandello del Lario of course.
A tribute to its predecessor
and not just in name - the
concept of absolute protection
and comfort has simply been
translated into modern day
language and technologically
updated. The Norge 1200 has an
elegant and dynamic design,
excellent ergonomics and
comfort and short wheelbase to
make it competitive even in
the traffic. Dynamic and
responsive, the Norge 1200 is
a modern Gran Turismo which
makes flexibility its main
strong point as it crosses
city centres and boundless
distances with the same ease.
Thirty-five years have gone
by, but the Moto Guzzi
California continues to play
a leading role in the
collective imagination of
motorcyclists throughout the
world. In 1971 when the
first model was introduced,
the custom market was
divided into the original US
models and their imitations
from the East. Moto Guzzi
introduced a motorcycle with
a strong personality based
on the tried and tested
frame of the V7 Special and
the legendary 90° V-Twin
engine with a capacity of
757cc.
A winning combination which
won international success,
not least because it
proposed a new way of
motorcycling, in contrast to
the exaggerated quest for
performance. On a Guzzi
California, you travelled -
and you travel - in total
relaxation. The seat, as
comfortable as an armchair,
enables you to enjoy the
landscape protected from the
wind in the shelter of the
large windshield, fitted as
standard together with the
panniers, a clear sign of
its vocation for travel.
These qualities enabled the
V7 California to
triumphantly cross the ocean
where it was adopted first
by the L.A.P.D. (Los Angeles
Police Department) and
subsequently by other US
states. The rest is history
- and legend. A familiar
presence in films and
advertisements, the
California has every right
to be considered as one of
those industrial design
objects which have left
their mark on our history.
Its two legendary wheels
have never stopped - and
neither has its evolution.
Year after year, the look
and technology has been
updated, without altering
its original personality and
spirit. Now, 35 years after
its birth, Moto Guzzi has
decided to pay tribute to
this extraordinary model by
creating an exclusive
Vintage version, dedicated
to those who want to go on
dreaming.

In 1967 the first big
Italian bike appeared on the
motorcycle market: the Moto
Guzzi V7. The brainchild of
Giulio Cesare Carcano, the
V7 made its debut with a
2-clylinder 90° V-twin
mounted across the frame and
a cylinder capacity of
703cc, a record for the
time. The bike was an
immediate success with both
press and public, and the V7
helped make Moto Guzzi’s
name throughout the world,
as a producer of
prestigious, comfortable,
elegant and reliable
motorcycles. For many owners
it was the expression of an
important part of their
lives, youthful memories of
carefree times, trips with
friends, in a resplendent
historical period for the
brand. Forty years later,
this positive heritage, in
combination with the current
full-blown relaunch of the
brand, is the inspiration
behind the new V7 Classic. A
bike with a strong
character, which derives
from the interpretation of a
concept of essential beauty,
hailing to the style of the
original V7, but with all
the modern technology that
the legendary ancestor could
never have. Modern technical
equipment, chassis and a
Euro3 750cc engine, the line
of the fuel tank hails to
the old V7 Classic, running
narrow and streamlined along
the tubes of the frame to
meet the seat, perfectly
flat and mounted solid with
the rear mudguard. The
storage compartments on the
sides blend into the style
of the famous ancestor, with
the same side view. The
charm of the V7 Classic is
also expressed by the bright
chrome work, such as on the
exhaust pipes, the shock
absorbers, the rear light,
the fuel cap, the front
light, the comfortable
handlebars and the surround
of the speedometer and rev
counter.
