The Moto Guzzi Targa 750 is a masterclass in Italian practicality, combining existing parts to create a new 750cc roadster that defies the conventions of traditional Italian bike design. The air-cooled V-twin engine, borrowed from the NTX750 trail bike, produces a respectable 46bhp, while the twin-shock chassis, based on the 650 Lario, provides a smooth and comfortable ride.
But don’t let the Targa’s utilitarian roots fool you – this little roadster has a personality all its own. Its petite size and sweet-tempered nature make it an ideal companion for twisty roads and urban adventures, while its effective top-half fairing and streamlined lines ensure it cuts through the wind with ease.
Despite its modest power output, the Targa 750 is a joy to ride, with a character that’s distinctly Italian but refreshingly free from the excesses of the Le Mans. With its unique blend of practicality and charm, the Targa 750 is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a motorcycle that’s as much about the journey as the destination – and that’s a truly Guzzian experience.
