Moto Guzzi Norge

The Moto Guzzi Norge is a touring motorcycle made by Moto Guzzi from 2006 to 2016. Its name recalls the Moto Guzzi GT Norge of the 1920s. It was presented in November 2005 at EICMA and entered production in 2006 with a 1200 cubic centimetre engine, with an 850 cubic centimetre version following the next year. It derives from the Moto Guzzi Breva, adding a large front fairing that shields part of the engine, a beak to divert air from the engine base and small side fairings. The air-cooled 90 degree V-twin drives the rear wheel through the patented CARC compact reactive shaft drive, and the 1200 version had ABS as standard. The Norge was named bike of the year in the touring class in 2007 and 2008, and was restyled in 2010 with a four-valve engine.
