What a motorcycle! Here's Larry Hubbard's beautiful theme on
the Moto Guzzi: a Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100 motorcycle in all its glory!
Larry writes: "I personally own the first Supertwin the importer brought in
and these are my thoughts on it. The first thing you notice is
quality of components, high end appointments in every detail and not
just bolted on randomly. The frame was engineered from a
"pure" race effort which gives loads of feedback to the rider
which promotes confidence as handling is superb. The 1100cc V-twin
engine fuel injection is tweaked to produce 94 horses and gobs of torque
which makes this 420 lb. cycle accelerate like no other, while the
Ferrari paint and Tubi style (Ferrari) stainless steel upswept exhaust
is beautiful "eye candy".
Quality control is very high due to the small numbers made (8 per month
worldwide) which is not one of Moto Guzzis ' forte'. I really enjoy my
Supertwin and the envy I get from longing Ducati/Japanese owners, who
insist their bikes are "one of a kind". I work very
closely with the importer and he has brought in the only Ghezzi-Brian
Furia into the states. Needless to say he is cleaning out his
garage to make room for his new love. These bikes are superb-I
don't understand why the magazines haven't given them their due.

Thanks, Larry, for sending these photos!
