Updated Guzzi tourer shown

Written by CMG Staff on Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Moto Guzzi has an updated touring model for 2010, the Norge GT, which was shown at the Milan EICMA motorcycle show this week.

A new 1200 cc V-twin will pump out 105 hp using the four-valves-per-cylinder technology of the company's Griso. That's about 17 hp more than the previous two-valve Norge.

Suspension has also been improved with new fork springs and better hydraulics, and bodywork has been redesigned for a sleeker look and better airflow.

The first 850 LeMans had me hooked on Guzzi. I never bought
a Guzzi, always been afraid of the quality. I would like to
see some kind of 80k mile test on one. That might get me to
buy one.

While I find Guzzi's current offerings ugly, I almost bought, and still might, a V11 in that metalic yellow green with red frame. Lovely.
I also scan the net daily looking for an 850 lemans. One day the stars will align; or rather the amount in my bank account and the right bike being available will occur on the same day and I will find myself driving to some far off place to pick up a bike.

I test rode a Norge, the added hp will make it one sweet bike. It was like an FJR with much less power but a lot of engine character; now it will be powered up.

I think Guzzi's have a reputation of being extremely reliable. One guy I ride with has a California with mega miles and little work needed.
