Technology, carbon fiber, and bagger-style motorcycles typically don’t go hand in hand… unless you're Moto Guzzi. The legendary Italian bike brand introduces its take on the big American cruiser class with its MGX-21 Flying Fortress. Designed in California, but assembled in Italy, the Moto Guzzi offers motorcyclists the best of both worlds in terms of style, function, and of course, performance.

Guzzi delivering best bang for the buck by a looooong shot in the market today. Worse is Ducati and Augusta, the Harley Davidson cost wise of euro bikes, waaaaay overpriced.

Absolutely beautifull bike, however it has a tendency to drop its front wheel into the corner at low speeds, like most of the custom bikes do. Moto Guzzi tried to limit this by installing a springed like steering damper, but it is still quite a handfull and you have to take care of this and be prepared to it. Otherwise marvellous machine.

My California 14 does the same thing. Its from the long rake and trail. You get used to it by pushing back on the inside turning bar after initiating the turn.

I have an Africa Honda Twin Adventure Sport that also has a 21 inch tire, but it's turns so good at slow speed it's just amazing. Do you think it's the weight or rake and trail or both that seem to cause everyone to comment on the turn in slow speed thing on the MGX-21?
@dreadnought1984
@dreadnought1984 Жыл бұрын
@old man strength In my experience, this only happens at speeds below 10-15mph. This is before counter-steering comes alive, and using normal steering. The front wheel will kind of want to "flop over" if you initiate a very low speed normal turn. It's not a severe safety or a handling issue, its just feels a little different and something interesting to get used to. At speeds above 15mph, it wants to turn! It ain't your typical cruiser. She thinks shes a sport bike, and will happily lean over with a little handle-bar press and body weight shift. This is what Guzzi's do.

+Adam Waheed personally, I love 5-10 minute reviews, but the videos I really love seeing are when riders put bikes up against unlikely odds; like a sport cruiser on a track against a small displacement bike, a fancy Stornello actually riding through Gorman, old vs new Sportbike shootouts... Or anything that sheds light on different parts of motorcycle culture, Bonneville salt flats(review a bike out there, any bike), club racing scenes, minibike racing, hill climbing, flat track. I guess anything that's creative and breaks the mold of most videos today, I'd watch, even if it's silly, I'd still watch.

Cool - thanks for the feedback and insight on what you like to watch. I dig that kind of stuff too but it can be tough to pull off. Folks in-charge within the motorcycle industry generally don't like when you compare dis-similar motorcycles, etc. Nevertheless, this is good information!

Adam Waheed I hear ya. Manufacturers have a marketable image and target demographic to hit from bike to bike. On a broader brush stroke, my 2 cents is that a positive, subjective look at what it would be like to own a bike means more than the objective breakdown I can get anywhere from any website. Any way, you guys are already doing high quality, enjoyable work so far, so keep it up!

This bike is so cool ... Harley Davidson are famous for the 'batwing' fairing, then Moto Guzzi comes along and says: "I am Batman". If I owned one like this, I'd have to wear black and wear a bright red helmet to compliment the rocker covers. Plus a pair of red gloves.

That is a beautiful bike. I would consider a Moto Guzzi to possibly replace my Goldwing. I liked the fully dressed California. The biggest problem is lack of a strong dealer network.

Hi! I love your reviews, do you plan to do one on the V9 Bobber or Roamer? I am interested in hearing what you have to say about those since there aren't a lot of reviews out for that yet. Thanks and keep up the good work :)

What's up? Yeah, those bikes look pretty sweet - I saw a Bobber in person the other day and it looked like a Sportster 1200 killer to me. We'll see if we can get our hands on one in the new year and crank out a nice review. Thanks for tuning in.

So I'm watching this review and it hits me... Damn, Man, that's Waheed! Good to see you out there, dude. Nice review. I have to admit, as a Vision rider I am intrigued with this motorcycle. It's got a lot going for it in terms of its feature set. Looks pretty darned good, too. Would I like a bigger engine? Hell yeah I would. But from what I hear this thing can hold it's own. I may have to go take one for a spin and see how she fits. I am pretty spoiled by this Vision of mine, so I am not expecting it to be as comfortable by any means. But I would like to see how it feels anyway. Subscribed!

At least somebody pronounces Moto Guzzi as you should. THANK YOU. P.s. I love the idea of a bagger Guzzi, I just worry that it's going to be waaay clumsier than the Griso 8V that I ride.

It's a easy pronunciation to flub for us Americans. It certainly isn't as sweet handling as your eight-valve Griso, but it's still a nice handling motorcycle for its size.

@Tommy Salami Italian is a language of Latin origin. We, unlike her, have the double standards that you Americans or English do not have and you cannot pronounce. She was born like Guzzi and will be Guzzi.
