Moto Guzzi on Tour: The 2007 Model Line

Norge 1200 - Moto Guzzi’s premier sport tourer is ready to ride, cross-town or cross-country. Built to deliver superior comfort and safety, the Norge’s modern Italian styling, reliable performance and leading technology create the ideal adventure companion. The full fairing follows the lines of the bike for an integrated, modern design while the windshield is adjustable for optimal aerodynamics in different riding conditions. A generous double seat means plenty of room for a fellow traveler. The many standard features include an Anti-lock Braking System.

Griso 1100 - The Griso’s radical styling makes it the Moto Guzzi of choice for anyone who wants power, comfort and a thoroughly individual statement. Designed to stand out in any crowd, the Griso sizzles with style and cutting-edge technology. From its long, low profile to advanced technical features like a tubular frame, imposing V-twin engine, compact reactive shaft drive swing arm, and massive exhaust and tail pipes, the Griso is ready to rock. The bike’s upright riding position and wide handlebars add absolute control and confidence.

Breva 1100 - Moto Guzzi’s entry in the Naked class combines Italian racingheritage with the all the technology and performance required for spirited riding. The Breva 1100 features a comfortable anatomically-molded doubleseat, neatly integrated into the gas tank for a thoroughly modern, sport appearance. The power is put to the pavement through Guzzi’s patented compact reactive drive shaft.

Breva 750 - Along with the Moto Guzzi Nevada Classic, the Breva 750 is an excellent choice for first-time or height-challenged riders. As the smaller sibling to the Breva 1100, the Breva 750 may give up a bit of displacement, but it makes up for it with absolute ease of handling and ride enjoyment. Unlike other entry levels or low seat-height choices, the Breva 750 doesn’t retain weight, hamper handling through limited steering ratios or add other challenges. Instead, this fun-to-ride and easy-to-own Naked bike inspires confidence.

California Vintage -Moto Guzzi honors its legendary past with this retro-styled cruiser. The California Vintage is tailor-made to enjoy on the open road, featuring a low seat as comfortable as an armchair, tall windshield to tame the elements and ample saddle bags for storing the necessities. The new 2007 California Vintage recalls the heritage of the fully-equipped, chrome-adorned motorcycles that once patrolled the roads for the California Highway Patrol and police departments all over the US. The 90-degree V-Twin, air cooled engine, imported from the Breva 1100, provides solid performance
