New Prototypes to be unveiled at EICMA 09

If you have sen the Official Moto Guzzi site recently you will have noticed a Flash intro with some tantalising images of some prototype designs by Terblanche. Looking at them they seem to point to a sporty number, which is good news...or maybe it's just to disguise the fact that there's no new iron from Mandello this year...we'll see. I have "lifted" the images from the site andhere they are...

EICMA 2008:-

EICMA 2008 again promises to be a feast of motorcycling jewels. MOTO GUZZI of course will definitely be there and, whilst this year doesn't carry the levels of excitement of last year's revelations, who knows what the rest of the year will bring?

Guzzi kick off the show trail at Cologne's Intermot and, ahead of the exhibition, Guzzi have released a press release highlighting the releases they hope will light the fires of enthusiasm like never before. We will keep you updated of developments, but if you hear anything, let us know! And if you decide to go to EICMA...take your camera with you!

The line up for 2009 sees some old friends but also the absence of others and some initial surprises. The Guzzi family appears to look like this for 2009:- 1200 Sport 8v: with the stonking motor now in the 1200 Sport's chassis. V7 Classic: The cutie looks to be gaining some stylish new clothes. Griso 8v:- Kicking arse in '09, but no 1100 version. Breva v1200-850: The big Breva gets a bigger mill althpugh this is the 2v per head version. The 850 soldiers on, but where has the 750 gone? Stelvio ABS: The monster now has some added control and some new luggage...at last, I hear owners cry. Norge 1200-850: The smaller version remains and ther are some important revisions for the biggie, with a few gadgets and some classy looking new colours. Nevada Classic: Who would have thought it? Still here! Bellagio: Some revisions and new schemes for the mad cruiser. California Classic Vintage: The classy Cali looks a little more so. MGS-01 Corsa: When the heck are they going to realise we want a road going version!

EICMA 2007:-

This year's eagerly awaited EICMA exhibition has kicked off in Milan. It has opened up to the press and already a flurry of activity and interest has surrounded the new iron that the major manufacturers are unveiling for 2008.

Get on the phone to your bank manager and your financial adviser because there is temptation aplenty for those weak willed enough. Moto Guzzi have the new Stelvio and V7 Classic...but there are also one or two other interesting variants of existing models...click here to view: GO. Make sure you bookmark this page as it will be getting updated throughout the course of the exhibition!

NEW RELEASE:- V7 Classic

Yet another new model being premiered at the forthcoming EICMA in a matter of time! This timemit is a "retro" design to mirror some of the Moto Guzzi heritage. What do you think? Is this the right thing for Guzzi to do? We preview the latest offering here: GO

NEW RELEASE:- Stelvio 1200cc 8v

You've all heard about it , the new Moto Guzzi Stelvio - recent pics taken at a Guzzi Factory Show and leaked to the international press for your perusal. It gets its name from one of Italy's highest and apparently hardest peaks to climb.

The Stelvio has been one of the most discussed releases recently and has been eagerly awaited in its final form...well, we preview it here: GO Have a read and tell me what you think!

NEW RELEASE:- Griso 1200 8v!

The latest offering from the factory is the awesome 1200cc 8v Griso. There has been a great deal of hubbub surrounding this release. The factory states the motor is 75% new...to answer all those who say the 8v enging isn't new...


Is the factory's enthusiasm for this model justified? How will it be received by the press and, more importantly, by the general public? Click here to find out more: GO

NEW RELEASE:- Norge 850!

Hot on the heels of its recent successful releases, the factory have made available a new variant of the impressive and so far acclaimed Norge 1200 (It has just won several Motorcycle of the year awards) this time with an 850cc lump to, presumably, attract a whole new rider to this formidable motorcycle!


This machine has a comprehensive set of accessories...in time honoured Guzzi style...and an impressive set of specification figures...we LOVE IT! I think the 850 motor will prove a very popular choice for this bike, let's hope so! Want to see the ttech spec? Click here: GO

NEW RELEASE:- Bellagio 940!

The all new Bellagio - a gorgeous cruiser, right up my alley. This has style and grace - what a beauty. Soon to be released, end of April we're told. Check out those cans - aren't they a lovingly sculptured work of art? I really like what Guzzi have done here, its almost as if they've invented a whole new genre of bike.

Some may feel that this is an attempt to tap into the Harley market, may be so but this bike stands out in a class of its own.Single swing-armed light cruiser that will certainly turn heads and its stylish enough that the uninformed will now looking at something better than a Harley(and you can bet your last payslip on the fact that it will handle, stop, look and definitely sound better than any Harley).

Hey GUZZI ! How about a test model so that we can do an article ????? While you're at it, throw in a Norge, Cali Vintage and a 1200 Sport !!! Get to know it, click here: GO
