A brief history of Moto Guzzi
The Italian manufacturer Moto Guzzi was thought of by three friends during their time serving in the Italian Air Corp in World War I.
Sadly, one of three friends Giovanni Ravelli, passed away in 1919 during a test flight. Two years later (and a loan from Pardi's father), Moto Guzzi was started up by Emanule Vittorio, Parodi, his son Georgio Parodi, and Carlo Guzzi in 1921 giving homage to their dear friend through the spread-winged eagle motif in their badge.
However, it was not until 1922 when Moto Guzzi produced their first motorcycle, naming it The Normale 500cc, that quickly became a roaring success for the company.
Moto Guzzi went on to have mixed success and many different owners due to financial struggles. However, the last of all was when Aprilia who had owned Moto Guzzi since 2000 was bought out by the Piaggio Group in 2004.
Since then, significant investments have been made into the company, allowing them to introduce many new models today such as the VS85 TT, both the V7 and V9 as well as the V100 Mandello.
Moto Guzzi Motorcycle FAQs
Is Moto Guzzi still made in Italy?
Despite being owned by the Piaggio group, Moto Guzzi still remains an independent brand identity, meaning that all Moto Guzzi motorcycles are still manufactured in Mandello Del Lario, Italy at the original factory.
What is so special about Moto Guzzi?
The Moto Guzzi name is incredibly well known for its unique horizontal V-Twin engine that was first designed in the early ’60s causing a stir on the motorcycle scene - this engine then went on to be used on Italian police bikes and adapted for the 1971 edition of the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport.
What happened to Moto Guzzi?
After the founders passed away, funding began to evaporate which led to many different ownership changes. This was until 2004 though when the Piaggio Group bought out Moto Guzzi.
Are Moto Guzzi Motorcycles handmade?
Moto Guzzi motorcycles have been hand-built in the Mandello Del Lario factory since 1921. At a full working capacity, Moto Guzzi can build around 65 hand-built motorcycles per day.
