First Ride: 2007 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200

"Man, I wish I had this bike last summer," I thought to myself as I rode through a driving rain, in the dark, on Moto Guzzi's new Norge 1200 sport-tourer. If you recall, I piloted a Breva 1100 in the inaugural Colorado Centopassi last July (Motorcyclist, November 2006), and while that bike worked ju more

Moto Guzzi California Special Sport

When Commander in Chief Boehm said a new Moto Guzzi was joining our test fleet, the older staffers began reminiscing like war buddies about the first Guzzi they rode back when Carter (or was it Dewey?) was in the White House, while the younger staffer scratche more

Moto Guzzi V11 Sport - Road Test

Road TestDon't know why we like Moto Guzzis so much, really, as there hasn't been all that much reason to for about a quarter century now. Must be all those years drawing Hot Rod-inspired bikes in the back row of class. This is how a motorcycle should be laid out, according to the eyes of a motorhea more
