Moto Guzzi: the centenary of the historic brand in 2021 [TEASER VIDEO]

In 2021 they remember 100 years di Moto Guzzi. The historic motorcycle brand was born on 15 March 1921 a GenoVa. A reality linked to the dream of three aviators: Charles Guzzi, George Parodi e John Ravelli.

The eagle mark

Through a short video proposed by Moto Guzzi, we greet and highlight the importance of this 2021, considering the centenary anniversary. It is interesting to recall the history of this manufacturer, the oldest motorcycle developer in Europe.
For example the note eagle with spread wings it will only appear at a later time. The first experimental model of the house was initially marked with a rhombus and the acronym “GP” on the tank, the initials of Guzzi and Parodi. Ravelli, unfortunately, had tragically passed away after crashing during a test flight. Precisely in memory of his aviator friend, an eagle with spread wings was chosen as the symbol to watch over any future challenge. It has since become a legendary logo.
The production is also varied and iconic, considering for example the different generations of V7. With the last chapter presented just recently. The new versions V7 Stone e V7 special have peculiar characteristics and above all a new engine 850 cc which transmits greater power and torque.

We remember the sportswomen Le Mans, Daytona, Centaur e Sport 1100, like the Americans California, Ambassador ed Eldorado. Also interesting are the sporting successes in 2006 e 2007 of Battle of Twins with Gianfranco Guareschi, as well as the realization of the gritty ones 1200 Sport, Griso 8V, Griso 1200 8V e Bellagio. Then recently the introduction of the classic enduro V85 TT, also in the variant Travel, in a broader production perspective.
Equally interesting is the historical one Wind tunnel in the Mandello del Lario headquarters dating back to 1950 and used to refine the specimens at an aerodynamic level. Connotative from the end of the 60s is then the 90° V-twin engine. A symbol like the same eagle and heart characterizing the iconic models V7.
