There’s nothing like taking an Italian national icon in the motoring world to get Italians – especially the riding or driving ones – in a tizz.
The latest comes with a debate over the merits of modern Moto Guzzi sportsbike design, and the prices that accompany it.
This Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport 4V Corsa is generally considered a damn good ride, but with dated looks, and it costs 12,620 euros.
That apparently makes it a price close to a BMW R1200 R for example, and that makes competing for the Guzzi tough.
The Sport 1200 4V comes in a new bicolour tint, alongside the classic silver or black livery.
It has a V-Twin engine with 105 hp and 105 Nm of torque.
The price is obviously specific to the local Italian market, but have your say about it in the comments.
