2009 Moto Guzzi Bellagio
 
The new Bellagio symbolises the depth
of the relationship between Moto Guzzi and its surrounding
territory. This relationship is so strong that the
immense beauty of the Lariano area affects both the
ideas and creativity of man and in a sense leads him
to create works of natural beauty in all his endeavours.
This empathy between the local environment and human
inventiveness can be clearly seen in the new Moto
Guzzi Bellagio that identifies a place known the world
over for its beauty with the free spirit of those
that revel in motor cycling. Individuality and sheer
style are embodied in a reserved, but sophisticated
design that displays highly advanced innovative technological
solutions balanced with a trendy image.
The CARC (Reactive Shaft Drive System) is a good
example of this advanced technology. This system transforms
the might of the new 940 cc engine into silky smooth
acceleration making this machine Moto Guzzi’s
most powerful naked bike. Other indicators are seen
in the presence of the progressive rear suspension
system, in the Brembo floating caliper brake system
that act on 320 mm discs, in the rear shock absorber
and the fully adjustable forks. These technical high
quality solutions favour active safety, set a dynamic
equilibrium and provide such riding pleasure that
the Bellagio is the new point of reference in the
category.
The Bellagio has the temperament of a naked under
the skin of a custom machine. The spoked wheels, drag
bar, rear-set saddle and forward positioned footpegs
are just a few examples of the details of a style
that concentrates weight on the rear wheel giving
the impression of a bike that is fixed to the ground,
ready to take off at the drop of a hat. The new 940
cc engine is more than capable of making this machine
fly. While the engine is docile and vibration-free,
it puts out huge power with immense torque from even
very low revs. This power can be heard in the legendary
engine note emitted from new twin silencers that sing
a song called Bellagio,
