MOTO GUZZINorge 1200 2007 - 2008

　　In 2007, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Moto Guzzi Norge 1200, the larger model in the range. The bike was in its second year of production and came with the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the first model.

　　The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 was a touring machine produced by the Italian maker from 2006 until 2016, when it was succeeded by the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello. Its name was also used on the 1920s Moto Guzzi GT Norge.

　　The motorcycle first saw the light of day in November 2005 at the Eicma Show, and the following year, it was released into the wild wearing a 1,200cc engine. In 2007, the manufacturer introduced an 850cc version more suited for city streets.

　　The Norge 1200 was based on the Breva model with a few differences, such as the front fairing that covered eighty percent of the engine for better wind protection. In addition, the bike was delivered with ABS as standard, helping on slippery roads.

　　The bike was manufactured around a double-cradle high tensile steel frame joined together with a 45 mm preload-adjustable telescopic fork on the front that offered 120 wheel travel and a single-sided swingarm coupled to an adjustable shock absorber on the rear that provided 140 wheel travel.

　　The 2007 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 delivered 90 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 5,800 rpm, all coming from a 1,151cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath the fuel tank.
