The Moto Guzzi Story
Nearly 100 years in the making
![]()
Since 1921, Moto Guzzi
have been making motorcycles that have captured hearts and minds the world
over. Ian Falloon, one of the world’s foremost motorcycle historians, brings
us a book that takes a look at the marque’s long and often turbulent story.
Unsurprisingly, Moto
Guzzi is a name that’s been very familar to motorcycle enthusiasts for
decades. Incredible longevity, certainly by today’s standards, has helped
with this, of course, but so too has its unique designs, racing successes,
and willingness to embrace new technologies.
In this book, Ian
takes us through Moto Guzzi’s long history, detailing its great successes in
the 30s and 50s, a period of stagnation during the 60s, and return to the top
during the 1970s. Today, it is the oldest European manufacturer in continuous
motorcycle production.
Guzzi owners are a
fiercely proud breed. But then Guzzis are not like other motorcycles, even
other Italian ones. To qualify as a Guzzi owner, one needs dedication and
individuality, both of which will be rewarded in a long term relationship
with these motorcycles.
Ian’s book, now in its
third edition, is THE definitive guide to the history of Moto Guzzi, and with
a foreword by Dr John Wittner, you can guarantee it’s full of facts and
details that you won’t find anywhere else.
