Moto Guzzi's 80th birthday

The search for the lost spirit of Guzzi, and that elusive balance between innovation and tradition, led to the introduction of the V11 Sport Rosso Mandello.

The bike presented at Intermot 2000 in Munich was an exclusive, limited series motorcycle, with all the fascination of 80 years of history and avant-garde technology.

The 80th anniversary of the historic Mandello del Lario Company marked a period of redefinition of the range. Work was carried out in parallel on both appearance and technology, adapting the bikes to the demands of an ever more sophisticated market. New models of the California family were developed, from the essential Stone to the California EV Touring with its rich range of accessories. New versions with different configurations were also added to the V11 sports line from the naked Café Sport and Ballabio to the Le Mans sport-tourer and Le Mans Rosso Corsa. The success of the evergreen Nevada continued. Fitted with electronic injection, it also won the heart of the female public with is nimbleness, easy handling and modern colours.

The agile Breva 750 i.e., aggressive Griso and ultra-sporty MGS-01 Corsa express the various “souls” of Moto Guzzi.
