The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200GT 8V is the latest iteration of the Italian marque’s indefatigable GT, designed to conquer the long-range Gran Turismo landscape with unparalleled reliability and performance.
Its 1200cc, 4-valve per cylinder engine is the throbbing heart of this delightful bike, renowned for its exceptional performance capabilities. Now boasting a new and more efficient exhaust system, it unleashes a maximum torque of over 113 Nm at just 5,800 rpm, and effortlessly reaches a peak of over 100 HP in power.
The Norge GT 8V’s dynamic prowess has been significantly enhanced, thanks to the introduction of a new suspension setting achieved by upgrading both the fork and shock absorber springs, and fine-tuning the hydraulic response. This has resulted in sportier handling, with quicker entry into turns and improved solidity when changing direction, even when fully loaded.
The new full fairing has been redesigned to provide enhanced protection from the elements, effectively insulating the rider and passenger from noise and temperature fluctuations. The engine cooling system has also been refined, with improved air circulation achieved through new intakes.
The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200GT 8V is the ultimate Gran Turismo machine, combining exceptional performance, comfort, and riding pleasure, solidifying its position as the flagship of Mandello del Lario.
