Updated May 2020

Moto Guzzi has the distinction of being the oldest European motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, churning out motorcycles since 1921.

Long known for its reliable single-cylinder machines (fun fact: early Moto Guzzis used external flywheels that you could see spinning ’round and ’round), today Moto Guzzi is better known for its transverse V-Twins – a trend it started in the late ’60s and hasn’t stopped since. Moto Guzzi fans are a fervent bunch, attracted to the brand by its (relative) simplicity, broad customization options, and the unique charm and character each model offers. And it all starts with the sideways V-Twin that revs slowly and rumbles from side to side when you blip the throttle at a stop.

Moto Guzzi occupies an interesting spot in motorcycling. As its Italian neighbors focus on the sporting side of things, today Moto Guzzi the family doesn’t have a single sportbike. Instead, the lineup consists of everything from mega cruisers to standards, and even adventure-touring machines – all powered by the signature transverse V-Twin. Along with Aprilia and Vespa, Guzzi falls under the Piaggio umbrella of companies.

Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Flying Fortress

The Moto Guzzi MGX 21, aka the Flying Fortress. Moto Guzzi’s take on the American bagger, the MGX is a stylish design exercise powered by a 1380cc transverse V-Twin pumping out 95 horsepower and nearly 90 lb-ft of torque. It’s a high-revving cruiser, which in itself isn’t something you normally say about cruisers.

If the Flying Fortress above is a bit too audacious, the Moto Guzzi California adheres to more traditional cruiser lines and style. Power comes from the same 1380cc V-Twin as the MGX.

Moto Guzzi Concept V85

The hotly anticipated V85 TT is Moto Guzzi’s entry into the Adventure Touring segment. With its classic style and 853cc air-cooled engine, it has both the looks and performance to get you wherever you need to go, on-road or off.

If a classic cruiser/standard is more your flavor, Moto Guzzi offers both the V9 Roamer and Bobber, the latter is seen here. A basic, minimal design provides a clean aesthetic. An 853cc engine provides forward motion.

The entry-level Moto Guzzi some might call it, the V7 III is slightly smaller than the V9 – and that includes its 744cc V-Twin, but it’s equally as elemental as the V9. A blank canvas to customize, Moto Guzzi offers the V7 in no less than 10 different variations.
