Moto Guzzi, the iconic Italian motorcycle manufacturer, is celebrating its 105th anniversary with a special edition lineup that pays homage to the brand’s rich history and its new home in Mandello del Lario. This exclusive edition features the Stelvio, V100 Mandello, V85 Strada, and V7 Stone models, each adorned with a unique livery inspired by the architecture of the new Moto Guzzi complex.
The new facility, designed by renowned architect Greg Lynn is not just a manufacturing hub but also a cultural and museum space that promises to offer visitors a comprehensive Moto Guzzi experience. The special edition motorcycles reflect the industrial and metallic aesthetic of this new complex, with a pearl grey paint finish and contrasting yellow details that echo the finishes found throughout the facility.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
The design of the 105th Anniversary Edition is deeply rooted in the architecture of the new Moto Guzzi complex. The pearlescent grey paint finish with a glossy sheen mirrors the industrial and metallic look of the new site, while the yellow details are inspired by the finishes used in the facility’s design. This color scheme is not just aesthetically pleasing but also symbolizes the brand’s commitment to innovation and tradition.
Each motorcycle in the special edition lineup features a dedicated graphic that runs vertically along both sides of the fuel tank, replacing the iconic Eagle emblem with the number 105. This graphic is also present on the rear wheel rim, creating a cohesive and distinctive look. The seat has been specially designed for this edition, featuring a stylized Moto Guzzi Eagle with contrasting yellow stitching, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Availability and Collector’s Appeal
The 105th Anniversary Edition motorcycles will be available starting in and will remain in production until the end of 2027. This limited availability is expected to make these models highly sought-after by Guzzisti and collectors worldwide. The special edition is offered on the Stelvio, Stelvio PFF Rider Assistance Solution, V100 Mandello, V85 Strada, and V7 Stone models, ensuring that there is an option for every type of rider.
These special-edition models mark one of the most significant moments in Moto Guzzi’s history. They are not just motorcycles but also a tribute to the brand’s enduring legacy and its exciting future. As the brand celebrates its 105th anniversary, it looks forward to the next century of innovation and excellence, with the new complex in Mandello del Lario serving as a beacon of its commitment to the motorcycle community.
