ISBN: 978-1-787111-32-5 RRP: (Australia) $75.00 Hardback 264 pages Published by Veloce • www.veloce.co.uk Available from Renniks Publicatio­ns (02) 96957055 • www.renniks.com As author Ian Falloon says, “The story of Moto Guzzi is one of a fiercely proud and individual company’. Hear, hear. Even today, Moto Guzzi’s designs remain individual­istic, and the company’s customers likewise. Ever since the formation of Moto Guzzi, it has been a leader in engineerin­g innovation, with a string of World Championsh­ips over many decades as testament to the soundness of design. Along the way, there have been many ups and owns, but its signature transverse­lymounted V-twin, first seen in the late 1960s, is still in production whereas others have fallen by the wayside. This book covers every aspect of Moto Guzzi’s history, from the svelte racers of the 1920s to the takeover by Piaggio and the massive cruisers that now characteri­se the range. One Appendix to the book gives production figures from 1921, and a second has specificat­ions of all Moto Guzzis from 1921 to 2018.
