The Moto Guzzi bikes are just pure, raw motorcycling experience. There’s no marketing gimmicks, no hokey features, no ridiculous image it’s trying to pass off, etc...anyone with a Guzzi can tell you that their bike is about the feeling and experience. Might not be the fastest, might not be the ‘coolest’...but it sure as hell gives a unique experience that can’t be replicated by any other company
You're right - my MG V9 Bobber told me the same 😉
Except they ARE the coolest.
Never heard anyone seeming so "bummed out" when talking about Motoguzzi. Geeze. Ive ridden a guzzi for many years & Always enjoy the character & performance.
God I love Moto Guzzi’s. I’m a Harley-Davidson man, but god damn do I love Guzzi’s, I will have one as my second bike.
I went to Glemseck from England on a 1971 Honda, met Stefan with the Bill Lomas tribute MGR and returned home to buy a a Griso. Amazing bikes, faster than the numbers would have you believe and wherever you go there is someone to share a beer with! 🍻
Those concept bikes need to go into production, air cooled simplicity with those killer looks!
I own a California 2, it's now36 years old. I will never sell it. Bikes come and go but the Guzzi gets in your blood, like family. I've owned several big bore hot rods and they were fun, but the Guzzi leaves you wanting to just keep going.
Love these customs....fell in love with Moto Guzzi 50 years ago and still ride two of them....Ambassador and Griso 8V....
These Guzzi's are beautiful
gotta love a good Guzzi
My Griso is still the best bike I've ever owned or wanted to own. Simple, brutal, no nonsense... Just as it was supposed to be.
What year? I keep looking at used ones every year, always wanted one.
It was appropriately named...griso
@@ahhhhchoo mine is '08, 1200 8v. I bought it with 12.000km, now it has 70.000. Great bike.
Awesome bike, i just bought a Griso 1100 myself, can't wait to ride it!
I'll be looking at a Griso for sure when I'll be feeling like replacing my Dorsoduro
I used to ride a Moto Guzzi Lario great bike with lots of soul!
Had my v11 sport for 20 years. I will own and sell others but the v11 will always be my fave.
Great reporting Matt. Right up there with the best. Love these Guzzis. Hats off to the builder.
Brilliant video and commentary. Well done!
1100 Sport... it's just cool. It's the only one I will keep forever!
Fantastic work! Love those Radical Guzzis! Wow! Thank you for introducing us to Radical Guzzi !
I’ve had 2 Centauro’s, a Stelvio, and a 2003 leMans - love them
My first guzzi was a '74 v7 sport. I just bought #6 guzzi, '09 Stelvio and I love them all. I've owned harleys in the past, but they don't have the character of a guzzi!!
Nice work Stefan, you are the best sort of mechanic !
Love my Moto Guzzi. First bike out of many that I am still excited about after 2 1/2 years of ownership. My average is 3 years before I am looking to let go of a bike.
"Just a Mechanic" Stephan & Son are the "DaVincis" of the MotorCycle World! They've Married "Art" & "Performance" and now deliver "Two-wheeled Astonishment & Delight" under the Moto-Guzzi Banner. Please,--NO Offense intended, but Stephan & Son--their GENIUS...--their "Radical Guzzis"...--Uber Alles! So RAVES Jek Silberstein
What a beautiful work!!! ...as soon as I have the money I will get in touch with you!
Fascinating! Great report...Guzzis have something special about them....Thanks!
one of the best episodes for some time, not just the content but the way it was delivered, no one trying to create an analogy of "your fat uncle" or "halfwit cousin", great job with the brilliant find, have since looked up the garage and that crazy race series, very entertaining,interesting and factual . can you stay in europe and continue to unearth these garages and bike builders. were you locked out of SA during lockdown or have you moved there ?.
That last concept was off the charts my god ...
I love this guys bikes, and I call him an artist! I really like the Moto Guzzi's, the V11 being one of my favorites. I own a really nice RnineT. But would maybe get a V7 or an Eldorado in the future.
I've ridden RnineT few times, its my favourite BMW boxer, i just bought a Griso, and for me these two bikes are very similar in simplicity of a fun big air cooled twin naked muscle bikes with power and torque right there when and where you need it
@@raoufhakam5936 I have never ridden a Griso, but I was really tempted to buy one. Even went to check one out. I just wanted something brand new for change and the RnineT/5 sold me... But I'm sure the Griso rides somewhere between my RnineT and the Buell I had before. I do miss the character of a V-Twin!
Hmmm, as a Ducati owner you should know that in the US twins series a few years back Guzzi’s blew the so-called sophisticated Ducatis to the weeds, so much so that the Ducati super bike twins teams protested because they didn’t believe Guzzi’s could kick their arses in the power department. I owned a Ducati once, never again, and my 3 Guzzi’s are all way more reliable than that Ducati (70s 750S, 80s Le Mans, 90s 1100 Carb sport).
My first bike was a small Guzzi. Thanks for this very entertaining video. ” We use the old Tonti frame which is good for.... maybe a thousand Hp (chuckle in the background) :-D
Very cool & interesting vid. This guy is also a pretty cool customer too. I'd love a Guzzi, the transverse V is a beautiful engine & hoping they put their latest 850 engine in a new Griso or Daytona even.
Must have one...must have one...must have one...!
I have ONLY Guzzi, best Regards from Mandello del Lario 🇮🇹🦅🤟
Had lots of bikes but my two forty year old Guzzis are the ones I talk to the most ! Great video only spoilt by too many adds.
sigh.
No matter how good a video is, it is only half done if you never run the engines for us.
Guzzi heartbeat is like no other and EVERY vid needs to showcase that sound.
Come on Guzzi! Make a few of these for us!! At least give us the V85 Le Mans?!
+1 on the V85 Le Mans. I would buy one today. My SP1000 will keep me company until then.
Duh, I had a LeMans III 850 and a LeMans IV 1000 in the '80's and '90's.
@@ronaldjohnson1474 Good choices!
Great job and not so easy in TUV Deutschland
Those Guzzis make that BMW R18 look............irrelevant?
A Guzzi cruiser might allow forward controls, something the R18 cannot.
Wow, need to know if the titanium exhaust would be available for my v11, and the rims too. Taking weight off the v11 would be really nice
The wonderful world of motorbikes. Is it materialism to want one or are motorcycles exempt?
Most certainly exempt.....we may have as many bikes as opportunity will permit....
what is life without a little materialism very short
It's a religious thing
Beautiful shop, beautiful bikes...! I love the Guzzi's and always have since I was a kid in Portugal in the late 60's.
Two is nice. V4 is also nice
Ain't that a nice accent? Best thing is: He's got a strong accent for Germans (even for Southbavarians!), too, being himself an Oberpfälzer. Anyway, they make the best Guzzis worldwide by far in that backwater nook in the Oberpfalz, that's for sure.
Dear Moto Guzzi, please oh please build a bike similar to the Griso that will take a pillion, as an alternative to the BMW R1200R!!! It's truly sad that there's practically no standard naked bikes anymore that can take a pillion comfortably for several hours....
Griso is okay for long runs, as long as you have a topcase. My 15 year old son goes with me all around Europe, 600+km days, no problems whatsoever.
My 2012 Norge is a 1200cc touring bike. It easily pulls wheelies in 4th gear. What more can you want?
Great story
so where was the 1700...? didn't get to hear it, bro!!
Doesn't Allen Millyard's 5 liter V-Twin take the crown as the largest air cooled v-twin ever on a motorcycle?
That being said, Radical Guzzi do amazing work.
Please review the Triumph Street Triple RS 🏍️🎃😀👍
My favourite bike i have ever owned was a Norge 1200 T ,why on earth did they stop this model, there was so much life still left in that model to develop and unfortunately a very classes motor cycle never to be replaced just amazes me.
It sounds like you no longer have it, and "Miss-it" like a lost limb... Wasn't it hard to get behind the swoopy & functional body-work to service-it? Just curious--always LOVED the LOOK of the Norge
@@jackdale9831 i had the 1200T not the GT, mine was so simple to maintain everthing about it was spot on.
@@stevenbatley8666 Dear Steve, was the 1200T a "stripper-Norge", without extensive body-clading? Just curious. Was it a "Stripper Guzzi?"--no fairing/clading unlike the Norge sold in the 'States had? Was the 1200T like the earlier "T-3", only a Guzzi unfaired? You're in England, aren't ya? I'm in the "'Zone"[AZ, in the US]. Gets so HOT here pretty soon, [June-Sept] we can ONLY ride @ 'Nite {--140-degrees F on daytime pavement } in the Phoenix-area low-desert.
@@jackdale9831 yes Jack,it had a fairing and a couple of pieces of body work, so it was perfect,if you goggle it you can see what I mean, in the States you may not have this model only the GT.
@jackdale9831 yes it had a half fairing not like the GT which for me had far to much body work.
I liked my Stelvio, but when the three MG dealers in my area dropped Piaggio, the nearest dealer was 200 miles away.
I've never understood that logic. Guzzi's are so simple that you or any decent mechanic will have no problems working on them.
@@coobye I can’t make my own parts.
@@rzu7120 Sure but parts are only a keyboard away and any mechanic will order in the parts he needs. Sorry, not being picky but I read this all the time. I've never had a a Ducati dealer near me for the 40 years I've been riding them but I just order the parts I need and learnt how to fix them. Don't let a lack of dealers spoil your enjoyment of the bike you like. Take it easy, cheers.
Brilliant video Mat, thank you. I have had an urge for a Griso for a while, not sure why, I’m more a Beemer man, but I think I might have to scratch that itch next year!
Ive a Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans 2 1980 black White version and its OK for me
Hallo Mr Bronolld , it is very educated to hear from you about Guzzis,I have run to a problem with my Norge 1200 GT 8V That even Technical Guzzi Team Italy couldn't resolve. Will you be kind and try to assist me ? Regards.
I have been riding MG for over 30 years now and wouldnt ride anything else, I also own a Ducati 900SS as well.
You are right though, if he would create a performance driven cruiser OR dirt tracker!!!!
So..... after all the chat we didn’t get to hear the bike started while you were there?
He probably wasn't there. Saw that interview before with someone else
Do they have a RUclips channel?
Guzzi needs to make a new model with a retro cafe racer look and front fairing. They are so cool but everything they make is so ugly. Check out that new F3 MV Agusta bike with the single round headlight. Simply beautiful.
I think you're right but also I like the new Guzzi's but they could really make some different cool retro designs to really hit it out of the ballpark.
Make a note, too many ads mean they are all ignored.
I'm pretty sure Allen Millyard's Flying Millyard is the biggest twin at 5 litres! Try beating that.
Hesketh X wedge 2 litre also and that's more than one.... maybe 5 lol
Millyard's Wonderful, too. He's "Humble", also.
I know what he means about the later Lemons. The world had changed. Japanese bikes handled (most of them) and technology was going in seven directions at once... Guzzi made some bad choices (16" front?) and on an age of liquid-cooled V4 sports bikes that were running rings round it, the Lemon and it's peers started to look slightly antediluvian.
Even the very best fast Guzzis are hard to ride fast on an unknown road. They are not "point & sqiirt".
In the eyes of many, that is a bad thing.
People who have been seduced by Guzzi will always believe.
Would have loved to hear the engine on that guzzi start up at least ?
Well done otherwise
Why are you so reluctant to talk about MG man? We MG owners love the feeling the riding, and the look and history. Even when the usual Honda Fireblade rider pass by and comment on the lack of HP... believe me there is nothing about adrenaline in the head of a MG rider, rather Dopamine mate.. feel good. Happiness.
Too many ads man....
I like radical guzzi work but he should not have said that the le mans iv is ugly and it is a undrivable and low perform motorcycle... thats' total bs !!
and i think he is absolutely right! It was even worse with a 16 ' ' frontwheel.
@@lutzkuntze8434
The 16 inches front wheel works fine if the tire pressure is correct.
Dr. John raced Guzzi at the BOT with a 16 inches front wheel.... I guess that’s enough said.
@@Marcoguzzi1969 No, Marco, there is one word missing: Amen. ;-D
horrible editing, no evidence that interviewer and interviewee are on the same continent (as claimed).
He wasn't. Interview on other channel but with interviewer. Doesn't take away from super builds and the ability of that man as a mechanic
Sorry but I don`t care for the polished swingarm/prop tube - I`d rather just paint it satin black. - It`s not an attractive artifact.
"Goot-zee"??...learn the pronunciation first before sticking your foot in your mouth... There is NO "T" , within the name of Guzzi. Mow-tow-Goo-zee
My foot remains mouth-free. I asked during my last visit to the factory. An Italian in the factory told me the correct pronunciation, which I'm attempting to use - probably quite badly. But the way they say it, it does indeed sound to us Anglos that it has a 'T' in there.
Go on, stuff that big foot of yours in yer gob then.
@@luko560 My Barber from Italy, puts the "T" in. Otherwise, 'Sorry. --Great Bikes, no matter how you say, "Motor Goose." --Doesn't ANYONE "lust" over the Charm & Feel of the Nuovo Falcone, hogged-out, Bored & Stroked, to 700cc in a single?
@@matdurrans3361 LOL! You Slay-me, Mat
Tschermen Inglisch at its worst...
he´s a mecchanic not an english professor at Harvard University - got it?!
