  • Bruce is a passionate Guzzista. We get it, because Guzzi's are bikes with so much character. He's had other bikes, but nothing quite compares to the Moto Guzzi's he's had, including a couple of California's, a V7, and a V9. Since we filmed this story Bruce has picked up his latest Guzzi a brnad new V100 Mandello.

    As you said, it's like a little secret that you only understand when you own one, if you just ride one for a short time you might not understand, but once you have ridden one for a while, you just get it and no other bike makes you feel like a Guzzi. I love mine too. Great video just not sure how many people we want to tell about the secret that is Moto Guzzi.

    As far as Italian bikes, I have owned a ducati 860, moto morini 500 camel, laverda 3cl 1000, cagiva 650, and currently have a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 and a 2013 Moto Guzzi Stone 750. Have owned several German bikes to include BMW and Zundapps. Grew up with British bikes--meaning Triumph and BSA. Have never been interested in Harley. Owned several Suzuki's to include 2-stroke models and the Wankel rotary 500. The Moto Guzzis have been my favorite above all the rest. Quirky, reliable, tractor-like in that the Japanese "refinement" is not there--but if you love just being connected to machinery and sound--Moto Guzzi!--mike battle

    I started to drive guzzi as 14 year pld boy,V35 Imola,now 43,have it still in the garage, waiting new paint but Custom 1400 is there also for the pleasure.Planing in october to visit Factory in Mandello if the weather will be good.
    Two years ago I tested Custom and decided to sell Road King and to say goodbye to Harley and I took beautifoul silver Custom with additional,original windshield,hard bags,toiring seat and sissy bar...
    Best choice ever.
    Now I regret that I ever bought Harleys that I did 🤣🤣🤣

      I enjoy the K, have had her 20 years come this April, only around 44ish thou on clock genuine. Have every MOT from first. She’s in the se spec but thankfully not that white and blue colour , a nice gold flaked red metallic. A real luxury mile muncher. My first K was a very early K100 ‘A’ reg, 8 valve head not the later 16. I liked the style of the early naked’s headlamp nacelle etc.
