Owner Comments (Below)
Moto Guzzi announced the revised 2009 Bellagio at the 2008 EICMA
show in November. It's one cool-looking ride, with more bling
than the subdued 2008 Bellagio.
Here's an
edited version of the Moto Guzzi press release, including more photos and
also the
specifications on the 2009 Bellagio (below).
December 23, 2008 -
The new Bellagio symbolizes the depth of the
relationship between Moto Guzzi and its surrounding
territory. This relationship is so strong that the
immense beauty of the Lariano area affects both the
ideas and creativity of man and in a sense leads him
to create works of natural beauty in all his
endeavors.
This empathy between the local environment and human
inventiveness can be clearly seen in the new Moto
Guzzi Bellagio that identifies a place known the
world over for its beauty with the free spirit of
those that revel in motor cycling.
2009 Moto Guzzi Bellagio
Individuality and
sheer style are embodied in a reserved, but
sophisticated design that displays highly advanced
innovative technological solutions balanced with a
trendy image.
The CARC (Reactive Shaft Drive System) is a good
example of this advanced technology. This system
transforms the might of the new 940 cc engine into
silky smooth acceleration making this machine Moto Guzzi’s most powerful
cruiser bike.
Other indicators
are seen in the presence of the progressive rear
suspension system, in the Brembo floating caliper
brake system that act on 320 mm discs, in the rear
shock absorber and the fully adjustable forks.
These
technical high quality solutions favor active
safety, set a dynamic equilibrium and provide such
riding pleasure that the Bellagio is the new point
of reference in the category. The Bellagio has the
temperament of a sportbike under the skin of a custom
machine.
The spoked wheels, drag bar, rear-set
saddle and forward positioned foot pegs are just a
few examples of the details of a style that
concentrates weight on the rear wheel giving the
impression of a bike that is fixed to the ground,
ready to take off at the drop of a hat.
The new 940 cc engine is more than capable of making
this machine fly. While the engine is docile and
vibration-free, it puts out huge power with immense
torque from even very low revs. This power can
be heard in the legendary engine note emitted from
new twin silencers that sing a song called Bellagio.
