Moto Guzzi, tous les modèles depuis 1921

Moto Guzzi is the oldest European motorcycle brand still in business. Founded in 1921 in Mandello del Lario, on Lake Como in northern Italy, its uninterrupted production since then has always stood out for its innovations, original technical solutions and an exceptional track record in competition.

Carlo Guzzi's creations, from the famous horizontal single-cylinder of the 1920s to the fabulous V8 of the 1950s, have forever marked the world history of motorcycling and given birth to a series of legendary machines.
"Moto Guzzi, all models since 1921" retraces this exceptional journey, model by model, from its origins to the present day.

Moto Guzzi Le Mans 850-1000

Introduced in the mid-Seventies as an evolution of the V7 Sport, the 850 Le Mans is one of the most renowned Moto Guzzis of all time. The development of the model was closely bound up with the concluding chapters of the firm's works racing team. The features conceived for endurance races were in fact incorporated in a model presented as a "race-ready" production bike.

The immediate success with the public, who appreciated the performance of the V-twin engine, consecrated the 850 Le Mans as the finest Italian sports bike of the period. It enjoyed a relatively long career that was to conclude with the controversial 1000 cc version, as enjoyable for its engine as it was disappointing in its chassis.
A flat end to a career that took nothing away from the overall prestige of the model, still today considered to be a legend by the enthusiasts of Italian sports bikes around the world. This is because the Le Mans is a rare combination of performance, versatility and mechanical robustness, with most of the examples built between 1976 and 1993 are still on the road today after having covered grand tourer mileages.

The Moto Guzzi Sport & Le Mans Bible: V7 Sport, 750s & S3, 850 Le Mans, 850 Le Mans II & III, 1000 Le Mans IV & V

Este libro ilustrado estudia las motocicletas deportivas Moto Guzzi V7 Sport y Le Mans de las décadas de 1970 y 1980. Estos modelos clásicos estuvieron entre las primeras superbikes en unir estilo italiano, buen manejo y alto rendimiento.

Tras años difíciles en la década de 1960, el ingeniero Lino Tonti creó en 1971 la V7 Sport Telaio Rosso. Su éxito llevó a Moto Guzzi a centrarse de nuevo en las motos deportivas. Cuando Alessandro de Tomaso adquirió la empresa, el futuro de los motores en V parecía incierto, hasta la aparición de la 850 Le Mans en 1975. Al igual que la V7 Sport, marcó un referente y se mantuvo en producción durante los años ochenta.
La serie Le Mans evolucionó en varias versiones y concluyó en 1988 con la Le Mans V, que combinaba carácter clásico con soluciones modernas.

El libro cubre los años 1971-1993, todos los modelos, su desarrollo año a año, datos completos de producción y 160 fotografías. El autor es el experto en motocicletas Ian Falloon, propietario de una Moto Guzzi V7 Sport de 1973.

The Moto Guzzi Story (3rd Edition)

The story of Moto Guzzi is a story of survival. As one of Italy's oldest, and most legendary marques, Moto Guzzi had seen the height of success during the 1930s, and then the 1950s when they dominated 250 and 350cc Grand Prix racing.
Their withdrawal from racing coincided with a period of stagnation until the company was sold to De Tomaso in 1973.

During the 1970s the V7 Sport and Le Mans were at the forefront of the new superbike era, and later, with Dr John Wittner's help, embraced contemporary technology with the 1000cc Daytona.
If one aspect characterises Moto Guzzi it is continuity. The great 500cc Falcone single ran from 1950 until 1976, and the V7, originally seeing the light of day in 1967, continued well into the 2010s.

This continuity breeds loyalty, and Guzzi owners are a fiercely proud breed. Guzzis are not like other motorcycles, even Italian ones, and to qualify as a Guzzi owner requires a dedication and individuality that will be rewarded in a long term relationship.

Moto Guzzi Motorcycles - Since 1921

There are many ways of designing a motorcycle, but it takes a great deal of artistic sensitivity to create a legend from only two cylinders. That is exactly what Moto Guzzi, the prestige manufacturer in Mandello del Lario, has done. Active in motorcycle construction since 1920, particularly in the years after 1945 it created motorcycles that made history, especially those with the powerful V-twin engine installed lengthwise in the chassis.

For forty years the V-twin four-stroke engine has been the Italian company's flagship. The fine Italians, Le Mans, and California types, and the small 125s, 250s and 350s are described here with accuracy and detail. This comprehensive volume describes all models and technical details.

As is the style of the authors, they also provide background information about the company and the industry. It is not all about machines and horsepower, but also the people who put their stamp on the operations: not only a treat for fans of serious technical information, but a gripping story as well.

Moto Guzzi California - Die Touring-Legende aus Italien

This motorcycle combines Italian elegance with American casualness: Moto Guzzi California. For half a century, motorcycle fans from all over the world have enjoyed the sound of the distinctive, transversely mounted V2 cylinder. The retro motorcycle represents a lifestyle that is somewhere between Easy Rider and the Californian sun.

The success story of the Moto Guzzi California began quite differently: Italian authorities were the first buyers. With modifications, the California was also used as a service motorcycle in the Los Angeles Police Department from 1968.
But what has proven itself in the tough everyday work routine may also be suitable for the weekend biker with a thirst for freedom. The civilian versions of the motorcycle quickly became a hit with touring riders.

The two motorcycle journalists Dirk Mangartz and Stephan H. Schneider tell the whole story of the "Cali" for the first time - from the first prototype of the V7 Police Special to the Moto Guzzi custom bikes and the futuristic MGX-21. Their book not only presents the evolution of this unique model series, but also the history of the oldest European motorcycle factory.
