2009 Moto Guzzi Nevada Classic 750

The underlying theme to the Nevada 750 is relaxed riding. This model succeeds like no other in achieving just that and, over the years, technical and design changes have only made it even better. The Company has made a few technical modifications and design changes to the Nevada 2009, a classic custom machine that now bears more resemblance to the legendary California, Moto Guzzi’s undisputed flagship. One of these changes is the new burgundy colour scheme with silver pin striped tank just like the one on the California Classic. The exhaust system and digital analogue instruments are also new and both derive from the V7 Classic. Standard equipment is of the highest quality with Marzocchi forks at the front and twin adjustable shock absorbers at the rear. The excellent brakes feature a single front 320mm disc and a four-piston caliper while there is a 260mm disc at the rear. Electronic fuel injection provides silky smooth performance and emission levels have been lowered by new engine management software.
