Motorcycle specifications Moto-Guzzi940 BELLAGIO Luxury 2015 Le Yankee italien
the Bellagio inaugurated a new custom style for the Italian manufacturer, less California (in vogue for over... 30 years), less touring, more bad boy, a bit like Harley's Sportster line. Its name sings like the famous Las Vegas hotel. Yet its origins lie in the Italian Alps: it's the name of a small town on the shores of Lake Como. In the past, the Lombardy bourgeoisie gathered here; today, this name is borne by this 940 custom. A beautiful machine, with an overflowing twin and a presence that's both discreet and present. The Bellagio looks good, is a little provocative, and accentuates its aggressiveness with twin exhausts terminating in multi-drilled tips. Equipment-wise, it's a far cry from the days of the California: big forks, electronic dashboard with digital window, Brembo brakes and single-arm with cardan shaft.
designed for maximum availability from low revs, the twin-cylinder retains all the Guzzi philosophy. In our world of 16-valve engines and ever-larger radiators, the 940 evolves in la dolce vita. What a pleasure it is to savor an engine rooted in authenticity, with 2 valves per cylinder, air cooling, and a character like you'll find less and less. Not exactly supple, but strong at mid-stroke, the engine has an unmistakably spicy flavor - a far cry from the blandness of certain Japanese productions. Bellagio is buffalo steak with a real Roquefort sauce; a meat that can be cut with a big knife, that doesn't need to spill over the plate, and that leaves a strong taste in your mouth once you've chewed it. Featuring a new frame and a more compact size than Mandello's previous custom bikes, the 940 Bellagio also gets the latest-generation C.A.RC gimbal swingarm and digital display found on the latest Guzzi models. On the 940, this is coupled with a simplified instrument cluster featuring a subtly retro speedometer. This Luxury edition comes in a two-tone color scheme. Since 2012, the Bellagio has lost 50 mm in seat height.

What's more, on these bikes, the aluminum swingarm is hinged to the gearbox base, not to the frame as on "les grosses".
