Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport(i) description
Excellent condition, owned by Moto Guzzi enthusiast. Guzzisti's know this one is fuel-injected, with Marchesini wheels, Brembo brakes, and uprated WP (Belgian) suspension. I believe I'm the third owner, having owned it for three years, during which time I've thoroughly enjoyed sorting it out, to be the bike that Mandello del Lario intended it to be. One of Guzzi's first forays into fuel injection, the Sport(i) was known to have glitchy fueling. So, I proceeded to have the bike dyno-tuned by one of the country's best-known tuners of Italian bikes, who created a custom chip specifically for this bike. I replaced the OEM cam chain tensioner with a Stucchi piece, to eliminate the chain slack that often fools the bike's ECU. My servicing has included all oils and filters, refreshed fuel injectors, replacement of all rubber lines, replaced wheel bearings, a new Odyssey battery (the best), and Michelin Road Pilots. Moto Guzzi factory shop manual included. All original except for Heli-bars (original clip-on's included) and carbon fiber rear hugger. Surely one of the best-performing 1100 Sporti's available anywhere at any price, and surely destined to increase in value and collectability. It's been a great bike though, as a 60+ year old rider, there are several bikes remaining on my bucket list before I hang up my helmet. Will sell within the US only.

Wed, 23 Aug 2017Guzzi's entry-level roadster gets new cylinder heads and other updates Credit: Photos by Max Tanbara After 50 years of production, an Italian classic much like Joe Pesci and Spaghetti O’s, the Moto Guzzi V7 Stone is now onto its third iteration of Guzzi’s most popular bike. Doses of change have come alongside the new roman numeral for this entry-level classic that remains a quality and affordable standard. 2017 Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone Editor Score: 82.0% Engine 17.0/20 Suspension/Handling 13.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 7.0/10 Brakes 8.0/10 Instruments/Controls 3.0/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 8.0/10 Appearance/Quality 9.0/10 Desirability 8.0/10 Value 9.0/10 Overall Score 82/100 With Moto Guzzi’s signature longitudinally mounted 744cc air-cooled powerplant protruding from its gills, wrapped in a classic-bike bun, alongside modern features such as ABS and traction control, the V7 III Stone is a solid package for the pleasantly affordable $7,990 price tag.
2017 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Flying Fortress First Ride Review
Mon, 08 Aug 2016An Italian interpretation of the American bagger Credit: Photos by Kevin Wing and Evans Brasfield Way back in 2013, Moto Guzzi said that the revamped California 1400 was the platform for a line of models, and we watched it grow from the initial pair of the California 1400 Custom and the hard-bagged California 1400 Touring to include in the 2016 model year the Audace and the El Dorado – though both fail to mention their California roots in their names. Into this family, Moto Guzzi lands the formidable MGX-21 Flying Fortress. 2017 Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Flying Fortress Editor Score: 84.25% Engine 17.25/20 Suspension/Handling 11.5/15 Transmission/Clutch 8.25/10 Brakes 9.0/10 Instruments/Controls 4.25/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 8.0/10 Appearance/Quality 9.0/10 Desirability 9.0/10 Value 8.0/10 Overall Score 84.25/100 2013 Moto Guzzi California Review: Emissary Of The New Guzzi – Video 2015 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring – First Ride Review + Video 2016 Moto Guzzi Audace – First Ride Review 2016 Moto Guzzi Eldorado – First Ride Review 2014 EICMA: Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Concept Since the American cruiser market is the largest in the world and Sturgis is one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the world, setting an attendance record of 739,000 last year on its 75th anniversary, Moto Guzzi has waded into the belly of the beast by releasing the MGX at a booth on Main St.
