Moto Guzzi Norge GT 1200 8V official video

Moto Guzzi has released their official video of the updated version of the 2011 Norge GT 8V.
While we understand that the Piaggio owned company is pretty traditional in it’s ways, but give us a break on the music, Coldplay’s Viva la Vida has been done to death in motorcycle and car ads.

After this personal little rant, let’s get back to the Italian sport tourer, that gets a more modern bodywork with a new reshaped fairing that improves protection for rider and passenger, but also increases airflow to the air-cooled engine, but also revamped electronic controls, timing and cooling systems, new integrated ignition and injection ECU.
