Here is the most comprehensive guide to the restoration, renovation, and development history of all V-twins (1965-2000) from the company that author Mick Walker confidently—perhaps controversially—describes as "Italy's most glorious marque."

An invaluable guide to the many engineering redesigns, technical modifications, and re-styling exercises carried out on the V-twin Moto Guzzi over 35 years, this volume is packed with technical data unavailable from any other single source, from Ing. Giulio Carcano's 1967 V7—a sensation at the 39th International Milan Show—to the V11SS 6-speed gearbox. And in between? More than 50 models, heavyweights and middleweights, custom cruisers and off-roaders, engine and gearbox stripdown, electrics, fuel injection analysis, model recognition, model years, performance kits—even specialized workshop tools. Nothing is overlooked in the quest for your perfect Moto Guzzi.
