Great !!!
Thank you for putting this out 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I used to work at a guzzi dealer, great times. Had a v50 Nato myself. Happy days. Fun bikes
In the small Essex village where l lived in 1978 there were two Guzzi's... a Californian owned by the local doctors son and my mine a LeMans. The first incarnation of the Guzzi Lemans 850 was the best. l would probably find it different to contort my older frame on it now but when 32 years of age..no problem....loads of street cred!! Great motorcycle...
I owned a moto guzzi le mans mk2. What a wonderful motorcycle to ride.
Nice ! Would have been worth showing also:
- the plain and beautiful roadster "Mille GT" (1987-93)
- the "Norge 1100 & 1200", Italian competitors of BMW boxer bikes
I’ve got two of those. A LeMans 2 and a California 3. Plus a Spada and a 750-engined Monza. Great bikes!
not my Top 5, obviously the V7 sport and LeMans, then the 1000S Daytona, 1100 sport for me. I didn't even mention my own guzzi which is a Bellagio.
The Falcone 500 Sport, first series is one of my favorite motorcycles of all time. So are the V7 Sport/S/S3 and Le Mans 1. And of course the little Guzzino and Zigolo.
All are adorable bikes. I never rode a Guzzi single.
And I haven't ridden the later sports models.
But the rest you feature are certainly on the list.
I have to say that for me (5'8", 70Kg) the V50 and V65 models were somehow easier to ride fast than the bigger-capacity, longer trucks.
On the smaller machines the gear change was also slightly brisker, adding confidence when braking late into an unfamiliar bend.
But I cannot disagree with your list.
The T3 California was the lazy cruiser nobody else dared to build.
Even though it was best ridden at low revs, it could become a full-dress Le Mans when asked to.
On those older Guzzis, tyres were important.
Also (as far as road riding was concerned) the linked brakes were just about perfect.
Moto guzzi V7 Racer
This person has we as we call in Dutch “heared the clock chime/strike, but to not know where the clapper/tongue is.” To call the Falcone and NF Falcone the same bike is like calling the VW Golf/Rabbit the same car produced from '75 up till now. And there are many similar errors in this video. And if you list the greatest Guzzi's since 1950 where is the V8 racebike?
Perhaps the Daytona? The most evolved Big Block version and inspired by designed by an American privateer.
I am a 78 yo Dutch male. I bought my first V7 in 1970 it was one of the eight imported in the Netherlands that broke the cranckshaft at 10000 km.
In 1972 I bought my 850 GT. In Mandello del Lario, I met a testdriver of Moto Guzzi, Antonio Piazzalunga. He had a paper to show the police that he was driving (too) fast for Italian motorcycles. It often helped , no Lires to pay. I sold the 850 in 2012, after 40 years, with tears in my eyes.
Always wanted a Guzzi finally got a V11 sport (2000) fantastic bike
Surely the 1100 sport deserves to be there as it was arguably even more beautiful than the LeMans and is the last true sporting Guzzi.
Pity you didn’t mention the small V’s. I’ve always had a weak spot for them, especially the sporty versions. 👌
Very true! Most underrated, the small block bikes. I bunged a 750 motor in my V50 Monza. Quick bike for sure.
My father bought a Falcone S from a Fort Hood soldier who brought it back to Texas from Italy in 1963. The soldier had cut the external flywheel off, thinking it would increase performance, so of course it would not run. Dad got it for $50 and, as a talented welder and fabricator, reattached the flywheel and got it going. The S had a velocity stack intake with no air filter and a straight exhaust with a megaphone. I think the carburetor was a Delorto but i was very young and don't know that is correct. It was very fast for a 500 single and would hit the ton on flat ground. Dad didn't like the right shifter and there were no American dealers to speak of so he sold it a few years later in 1966. He ran it hard, basically wide open and hard braking, and it held up. It handled well also. I remember sitting between him and the gas tank going 80 to 90 mph with the pegs dragging through corners and the old girl being very composed.
All the V engines are longitudinal. The V11 does not derogate to that architecture. A lot of people are mistaken by the cylinders disposition. But it is the crankshaft position that determines engine's classification.
Come on man! The famous 500cc V8 racing bike! And Dr. John’s Wittner's Team Moto Guzzi Le Mans racer!
The slow and heavy Nuovo Falcone ( the first in video) was rubbish, the worst Guzzi bike ever. It was already vibrating at 80kmh, it didn't brake, it was very ugly and absolutely insignificant. A completely different thing from the Turismo or Sport models of previous decades. Sorry for my English
1970's Lemans
1100 Sport
Daytona
MGS-01
Mondello
I’ve had a California II and now a California EV. Love these bikes!
I had two V11s green and silver ,a lovely bike . Regret selling them to this day .
I had two MkII Lemans over the years. Simply awesome bikes. Fitted me like a glove. I’m too inflexible now to put up with the clip-ons and very heavy throttle, but I had some great times on those bikes. Isle of Man TT (my best ride ever), Dutch TT and my first ride into Europe. 3:53
You keep writing the Guzzi twin is mounted longitudinally, but it's clearly a transverse engine instead...
The alignment of a motorcycle engine relates to the crankshaft alignment.
Moto Guzzi engines are longitudinal. Japanese fours are transverse.
Wrong
Exactly. Ducati and Harley use longitudinal. Only Guzzi transverse V
HOW can one do more than 1 minute about Moto Guzzi models without even mentioning the Cardan drive?
I liked the look of the T3 from the 70s,,,
A great selection of machines and revealing history, well done 👍👏👌
I'm about to buy my second V11. Prices are certainly on the rise.
俺はルマン3、今でも乗ってる🎵
And the GRiSO?
Lovely...... need at least 10.....no Spada?????
Geazie!
Moto Guzzi V twins are TRANSVERSE NOT Longitudinal !!!! A Ducati V twin IS longitudinal.
You are absolutely right! What a BIG mistake from my side. Sorry, sorry, sorry!!! Thanks for pointing it out.
I have a 75 850t project bike in my living room, , and a new to me 014 California in my garage/shop. Both are beautiful 😚 🤌.
I have a 2016 V7 11 Stone . 2 dials stainless exhaust. I think last of the proper V7

The real crime is that MG never made a high performance version of the Nuovo Falcone..
I have a 1969 V700 running on original SSI-29 carbs
bit surprised that horizontal singles and twins are not popular. can save a lot of frame weight. but mg nailed its flag on the vee-twin and got a lot from it. simple, smoothe, easy maintenance, a bmw with plus ground clearance.. mine was 600cc, fast enough, and agile.
Which is it - a longitudinal V twin or a transverse V twin?
Il v-twin Moto Guzzi è tecnicamente un bicilindrico longitudinale, perché quello che va preso in considerazione è la posizione dell'albero motore.
Molti lo definiscono erroneamente trasversale perché i cilindri sono messi di traverso rispetto alla moto, ma è un errore.
Se pensi ai motori delle auto la definizione è più chiara, e ti viene subito in mente che il Moto Guzzi sia un motore longitudinale
It is Transverse NOT Longitudinal !. A Ducati V twin IS lonitudinal.
Il motore longitudinale è un tipo di propulsore in cui l'albero a gomiti è parallelo al senso di marcia del veicolo.
Non va considerata la posizione dei cilindri del motore, ma dell'albero a gomiti. È una delle basi della meccanica.

the best 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love my Goose!
Beautiful tractors.
true that, just got a V7 stone special edition. literally less than 4 day ago. It got way more vibes than my previous 2005 HD Dyna super glide custom which had 30nm more torque but was weighing a 100kg more and let alone costing double
Ahhhh, Moto Guzzi. Turning motorcyclists into mechanics since 1922.
@@uralmotorcyclist3760 I’ve not ‘confused’ anything
@@uralmotorcyclist3760 who’s “us”? You don’t sound like a person with friends
@@uralmotorcyclist3760 if you really think I’m full of bs, then you’ve outed yourself as the amateur
As a guzzi mechanic I can say can't have easier bikes to service. Lazy people is basically what made our business 😂
Have to add, when service correctly they last a lifetime. Had a customer, André(rip) who rode his odo all way round on a le mans
Guzzi continued to manufacture the Le-Man's in the to 2000s as the V11 and the California got its name from the fact that the Californian police used them....
If its ticking it ain't a sticking
6:36 to 6:56 is that engine supposed to sound like that?
