MOTO GUZZI V12 LM / STRADA / V12

"Pure riding pleasure, but this is just the beginning"
Miguel Galluzzi e Pierre Terblanche - two of the most brilliant
motorcycle designers of all time - teamed up to present us with
their styling exercises centred around the very essence of the
Moto Guzzi brand - its legendary in-line twin-cylinder engine.
The V12 prototypes have been developed around the 1,200 cc
4-valve 90-degree V-twin from Mandello, so much so that they
were even
named after it.
The prototypes feature innovative details and solutions, like
the concept bikes they are. Noteworthy are the cutting-edge rear
suspension of the V12 LeMans, the LCD “rear-view mirrors”, the
LED light units, the “suspended” passenger footpegs and the heat
sinks.
Moto Guzzi V12 LM, V12 Strada and V12 X are three
extraordinary Italian motorcycles.
1- MOTO GUZZI V12 LM: This is the Italian sports bike
reinvented, true to the legacy of the legend of Le Mans it is
named after.
This bike is for those who want an exclusive motorcycle to ogle
and to own for the utmost riding pleasure. The bike provides
excellent performance under all riding conditions and easy
rideability for all to enjoy. Like the other two versions, the
V12 LM
combines luxury details (height adjustment for top fairing and
handlebar) with innovative, yet well-proven components.
2- Moto Guzzi V12 STRADA: This is the essential bike and the
most versatile model in the V12 range. Perfect for everyday
commuting, comfortable for two-up riding, with perfect naked
ergonomics. The touring-style handlebar is matched by the
generously
sized tail fairing capable of accommodating a comfortable
passenger saddle. The V12 Strada sports a range of technical
solutions and
aesthetic details built around the Moto Guzzi twin-cylinder
engine, that would have been unthinkable with a conventional
engine
layout. The passenger footpegs are connected to the swingarm
through a linkage system and look as if they were floating in
air,
enhancing that sleek, uncluttered look that is at the core of
the styling concept.
3- Moto Guzzi V12 X: this is a "one-of-a-kind" motorcycle,
true to the character of the Guzzi twin-cylinder. The focus is
on
riding fun, and is enhanced by its aggressive design. The V12 X
is the motorcycle for aggressive riders that begs to be pushed
to
the limit. Born to show off and fun to ride, this motorcycle is
in a category of its own. Its spirited personality is
highlighted by
the aggressive riding position, a sports-like chassis set-up,
longer suspension travel and a rev happy engine. |
