Moto GuzziNorge GT 8V

Description

The new 8V version of the 1200 cc twin-cylinder Moto Guzzi Norge has been updated to consolidate its vocation of being an indefatigable GT.

You can tell from a glance that the Norge 1200 GT is hungry for the open road. The fairing, for example, follows the lines of the bike like a natural extension. In fact, everything about the Norge 1200 GT is designed for total rider protection. The full fairing incorporates leg shields at the front and splash guards at the rear to keep you riding through even the worst weather. And to make sure that not even the cold will stop you, the Norge 1200 GT is fitted as standard with heated grips that offer you a choice of three temperature settings. The windshield deflects turbulence away from your torso, and can be manually adjusted to adapt the bike’s aerodynamic penetration to changing riding conditions. The powerful headlight cluster features four polyelliptical units for excellent visibility even on unlit roads, and adds charisma to the bike’s front end. With its aggressive, almost feline look, the nose fairing achieves the perfect combination between form and function. The dedicated panniers come in a matching colour finish, feature single key locking, and do not change the bike’s overall dimensions. There is even a 12 volt power socket for charging your mobile or operating other items of electronic equipment. These small but important details combine to show how much attention has been paid to functionality and rider wellbeing. And because the right equipment can transform even the shortest trip into an experience of Gran Turismo comfort and safety, the Norge 1200 GT is also fitted with an ABS braking system.
