Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring ABS/Custom ABS

Equipping the California 1400 cruiser with touring-oriented amenities and creating the all-new Touring model was a natural move for Moto Guzzi last year. The touring treatment includes a posh two-tone saddle that cradles the rider behind a protective “Patrol” windshield. Other hardware includes chrome supplementary lights and engine guards, plus pannier guards. The 9.2-gallon side bags lend the California 1400 the essential storage capacity needed. Also available: The 1400 Custom is the same basic bike without the bags and windscreen.

Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 GT ABS

Moto Guzzi’s commitment to keeping pace with modern times is clearly evident in the Norge GT. This longitudinal V-twin sport-tourer is the most luxurious motorcycle the legendary Italian company has ever produced, arriving fully equipped with everything the long-distance traveler requires. Plus, you’re not likely to get lost in the Norge experience while trying to find the best back roads where you can put the bike’s highly capable chassis to good use. Why? Because an onboard TomTom GPS receiver is just one of several options.

Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 NTX

As the adventure-touring segment continues soaring to new heights in popularity, the Stelvio 1200 spreads its wings with 30-liter aluminum panniers and a selectable traction-control system as standard features. Its fairing and adjustable windshield provide superb protection from the elements, and its saddle height can be lowered a full inch for added confidence. Perhaps the biggest asset for long-distance travelers is the Stelvio’s 8.5-gallon tank, an industry record for production-bike fuel capacity. The 105-hp, eight-valve V-twin engine and basic chassis have been lifted from the Griso.

Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE

The Griso is Moto Guzzi’s take on the popular naked sport-standard theme but livened up with a large dose of classic Italian flair. The SE’s (Special Edition) matte-black/silver paint scheme melds nicely with the black frame, wheels, fork, and saddle. The 108-hp, fuel-injected, eight-valve version of Guzzi’s trademark longitudinal 90-degree V-twin produces bone-stirring torque throughout its rev range. Sporting suspension and powerful brakes allow the Griso rider to exploit the chassis’ solid handling and excellent cornering clearance.

Moto Guzzi V7 Racer/Special/Stone

Paying homage to the racing career of Guzzi’s V7 Sport, the V7 Racer captures the spirit of those glory days of four decades past. If its chromed tank (with leather fastener strap along its centerline), suede solo saddle, and various drilled, brushed aluminum brackets and sidecovers were not a enough of a visual cue, then the race number panels integrated into the tail and the headlight fly screen should drive the message home even more clearly. Also available: The Red or Black V7 Special and the V7 Stone, Guzzi’s most affordable model.
