Moto Guzzi Norge 1200GT 8V (2014 - 2015)

The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200GT 8V is a tourer bike that has earned its reputation as a reliable and versatile companion for long-distance travel. With its latest evolution of the “four valve” series engine, this bike outclasses its predecessors with its exceptional performance, comfort, and driving pleasure.

The heart of the Norge 1200GT 8V is the renowned V-shaped 90-degree transverse twin-cylinder “Four valve” engine, which has been further refined to achieve a smoother and quieter running experience. The updated electronic control, timing system, cooling, and exhaust system all contribute to a more refined and efficient power delivery.

The new integrated ignition and injection ECU optimizes fuel feeding, improving throttle response, mid-range power, and reducing emissions. The oil radiator is now located on the lower fairing, while a thermostat-controlled electric fan maintains the ideal lubricant temperature. The result is a maximum torque of over 104 Nm at 5,500 rpm and a peak output of over 102 Hp, making this bike a formidable touring machine. With its enhanced engine performance and refined features, the Moto Guzzi Norge 1200GT 8V is poised to deliver an unparalleled riding experience.
