Moto Guzzi bikes

The company was started by two Corpo Aeronautico Militare pilots of World War I along with their mechanic, i.e. Carlo Guzzi, Giovanni Ravelli and Giorgio Parodi. The brand launched their first bike named G.P. (Guzzi and Parodi), which later went on to become Moto Guzzi. Currently, the company has its headquarters in Mandello del Lario, Italy. The brand later joined hands with other makers and led the world towards one of the biggest racing events in the Grand Prix. Since then the brand has been focused on manufacturing high-performance bikes that include models like the following.
