Ghezzi-Brian V-Twin Motard - Specifications & Review

Company History

Ghezzi-Brian emerged from Italian club racing with a mission: extract lithe handling and modern feedback from torquey Moto Guzzi transverse twins. Their SuperTwin and Furia models re-imagined V-twin packaging with stiff frames, weight centralization, and suspension setup that made the big-block Guzzi pulse feel athletic rather than ponderous. Track success validated the approach—privateer wins that showed how geometry and mass placement could let an air-cooled twin hunt apexes with contemporary pace. The bikes also exhibited artisan detailing: alloy tanks, purposeful bodywork, and carefully routed cables that made the machines as beautiful on stands as in motion. Production remained limited, and homologation challenges came with the territory, but the influence radiated through the Guzzi community—owners adopted Ghezzi-Brian ideas for brakes, forks, and rear suspension on their own builds. Historically, Ghezzi-Brian proves that passion and clever engineering can bend a heritage platform into something startlingly modern. The brand’s bikes are coveted not just for rarity, but for the way they transform feel: that signature Guzzi shove translated into deft corner entry and drive that makes mountain passes feel like home turf.
