IMMEDIATE RELEASE 07 Oct 08
MOTO GUZZI INTRODUCES THE TWO-TONE BELLAGIO – A NEW COLOUR SCHEME FOR THE 940cc SPORTS CRUISER
Guzzi’s smoothest bike yet has just received a new paint job and a new pillion- friendly dual seat. The Bellagio is a difficult bike to pigeon-hole. It has the looks of a custom, with plenty of chrome, flat pull-back handlebars and spoked high- quality alloy wheels, but it goes like a sports bike with power provided by a revised 940cc V-twin engine, with handling to match. Features like the retro-style speedometer and the badges on the grey and white tank are classic heritages from the past, but in a modern high-tech package.
The design draws from the American “power cruiser” style, but with a very European look and sophisticated touches that are pure Italian. For instance, the elegant instrument panel gracefully combines an analogue, white face speedometer, with a high-tech LCD on-board, multi-function trip computer.
The Guzzi style begins with the transverse 90 degree V-twin engine, which is key to the Bellagio design and this style continues in features such as the big twin disc brakes and twin over-under silencers that produce a very exciting sound.
The Bellagio is equipped with the same single sided Reactive Shaft Drive System transmission that is fitted to the larger capacity Moto Guzzi models, such as the Griso and Norge. Mated to Guzzi’s 6-speed gearbox, this translates into silky smooth acceleration from almost any revs up to its maximum speed. Heavy traffic situations are handled just as easily as high speed open road riding, with excellent fuel economy and low emissions from the Euro 3 spec motor.
Icing on the cake comes in the form of 0% Finance over two years and Free Third Party Fire & Theft insurance, which can be upgraded to Fully Comp for £199. All subject to status and availability.
All new Moto Guzzis have 2-years unlimited mileage warranty and 2-years roadside assistance throughout Europe.
The Moto Guzzi Bellagio is available in coal black at £6,999 or two-tone grey and white at £7,199 on the road, at Moto Guzzi dealers now. Call 01293 823890 for a brochure and local dealer details, or email enquiries@promarkpr.com www.motoguzzi.it
