We are in 2021, which means a lot for the Moto Guzzi brand which thus becomes a hundred years old. To blow out all these candles, the manufacturer boldly announces the organization of the GMG in September and sends models to the dealerships with a special livery which deserves attention...
The eagle of Mandello del Lario has 100 years old, but he still flies high. Moto Guzzi celebrates this extraordinary anniversary in 2021 and launches to mark the occasion in great initiatives that will culminate with the GMG, a trigram for Giornate Mondiali Moto Guzzi, which will be held in Mandello del Lario from September 9 to 12.
These Giornate Mondiali Moto Guzzi are always an unmissable event for all enthusiasts and, highly anticipated, they will be back ten years after the last edition. Tens of thousands of enthusiasts will come from all over the world to experience a unique and unforgettable event, made possible thanks to the collaboration between Moto Guzzi, the International Motoraduno Committee and the municipality of Mandello del Lario. At least, that's all the harm we wish for the brand and the territory, because it will mean that we are done with this pandemic...
Furthermore, for this special occasion, Moto Guzzi will produce a limited series of its models in a special Centenary livery, which will only be available on models V7, V9 et V85 TT throughout 2021.
An exclusive color palette, which evokes a unique heritage, drawing its origins from the aesthetics of legendary motorcycles which have marked the history of the manufacturer. This association between the metal satin finish of the fuel tank and the shiso from the fairing to the leather of the saddle is a real duty of memory. These colors have thus characterized the 350 Bialbero, one of the most victorious motorcycles in history, the unbeatable dominator of the 350 class in the world championship, with the astonishing record of 9 consecutive world titles (5 riders and 4 manufacturers ) from 1953 to 1957.
Moto Guzzi recalls its colors
Green was also the first color “worn” by a Moto Guzzi with the Normal, the first model, and probably the most emblematic of the Eagle's colors. The Style Center reinterpreted it in a modern approach with a matte finish and associated with metallic colors which express the solidity and authenticity of the brand. The body colors are matched with a saddle covered in a natural-colored material, such as leather, to emphasize the Italian attention to detail. Other distinctive details are the eagle in gold finish and the dedicated logo which graphically celebrates 100 years of Moto Guzzi.
It was in the 60s, after the light Stornello and Dingo motorcycles, that Moto Guzzi brought the twin-cylinder to life in 700 cm3 V at 90° with cardan final drive, destined to become the very symbol of the Mandello manufacturer through legendary models like the V7 Special, the V7 Sport, the California and Le Mans. This engine has constantly evolved on this architecture, until today, with the most advanced electronic control functions. The most popular modern Moto Guzzi such as the V7 and V9 range in Roamer and Bobber versions and the V85 TT traveler, the world's first ever classic enduro, benefit from this. And celebrate...
