Actually I can be right and everyone else wrong! The moto Guzzi engine is longitudinally mounted. Just as a V8 engine and an inline 6 cylinder in a car. An inline 4 cylinder Japanese motorcycle has a transversely mounted engine just as an inline por cylinder Japanese car with front wheel drive! It's about time we get this right in the motorcycle industry.
I had a V10 sport. Never had a problem in 3 years. Being Italian It obviously ran like a big with hickups because it didn't like cold UK weather but then neither I.. That was in 1999.
Why do they trot out the tired old cliche, "build quality has improved" since when?when where guzzis badly made?they've been going for 100 years and the engine in this bike has been made for 60 years.in the seventies the motorcycle press(mcn) might have made these claims,but they where desperately trying to save the British bike industry,they awarded the norton commando machine of the year,5 years in a row!a bike so awful that it hammered the final nail in the coffin
Yes. I was thinking the same. My Le Mans 4 was built in the 80s. By modern standards there are no frills....and it’s all the better for it. If only my 2012 Benelli was anywhere near as reliable I’d like that too. Moto guzzis have never been badly built to my knowledge. As far as I’m aware the only real issue is flaking engine paint on bikes from the 1990s......but don’t Suzuki’s, bmws and yamahas suffer from that too? Guzzis don’t suffer the regulator problems of Suzukis and triumphs and they are simple to service, maintain and repair. On top of that the engine is a thing of beauty and has the quirk factor you’d not find anywhere else other than on those dreadful plastic maggots Honda made in the 80s.
Unfortunately, some snobbery has been around within biking probably since the beginning, usually in a leg pull way. I think it has become a lot more than this for years now. What happened to biker's all over having a special bond anywhere their paths crossed and a nod when passing? I even know of rally's where they put you in another field if you're not riding a particular make or style of bike, away from the main event!
Not when you're 5'3 in. I have ridden both and the 750 was flickable and fun on two lane twisty mountain roads whereas the 1100 belt top heavy and overly large here in the Blue ridge mountains. Now if I were to compare them out west in the US I would pick the 1,100.
Moto guzzi should have bored it out to 800 cc plus, maybe 865cc like the Bonneville, leaving everything else the same. It's got great ergonomics and is fun to ride, But it's got low torque compared to the Bonneville
Had mine for 12 years - great bike. And I pottered about on mine to the South of France and back to London, Scotland, all ovet the UK, and Ireland.
I rode a 750 Nevada belonging to my father in law - I recognised that whirring sound straightaway!
Stunning bikes
Gonna go on road trip to Shropshire to buy one.Looks sexy and safe...thanks

Also reviewer's are easy to knock a bike for not having ABS or no fuel gauge.
"ooh it's only got one front brake disc"
Una moto con un fácil mantenimiento para hacer uno mismo, mucho par a bajas vueltas y un estilo personal.
The 1100 version is miles better and a fab bike !!!

Bloody annoying camera work and not sure why they've put it in a park with matey emerging from the trees for no apparent reason.
No stats ?
Transversely mounted? Get a presenter that talks from their mouth.
I thought it was pronounced Breeeva..
Indeed. And the "zz" in Guzzi as in "pizza".

When you can't even pronounce the brand name correctly, the credibility of everything else you say suffers enormously. That's a shame!
Only an italian can pronounce it correctly.
Its kinda like Moto Gutsi
