Posted by Shane Newman on

I am a self proclaimed Guzzista. A lover of Motoguzzi motorcycles with an almost romantic attachment to them. Over the years I have owned many Italian bikes, Motoguzzi being my favourite.

The engine, a clever upgrade to the already tried and tested 750cc variants with an enjoyable amount of power. The later models having very good Mikuni CV carburettors.
