DESCRIPTION:
T Austin said Nice book. I am researching older Guzzis (in order to buy one) and the book is a great resource. It mentions each model and what changes were made from year to year. It's been a great help figuring out what options are on each bike I'm considering buying.It answers most of the "what year did this model go from drum to disk brakes" type questions. In addition to technical parts, it's well written and tells a good story about the history of big twin Guzzis in the US. It pretty much ends with the newer OHC bikes, so it won't help much if you're looking for a 1999 model.. Sheldon Aubut said Greg Field's Latest Book Shines. Greg Field has given us another well-researched, beautiful book, which tells the story of motorcycles with their roots in farm implements, and their souls in the clouds. He brings Moto Guzzi motorcycles to life with stories from people such as Dr. John, little known historical facts, and photos which have never before been publicly shown. This is a book that any motorcyclist will enjoy. It reads like a novel, brought tears to my eyes, and I was hardly able to put it down.. "Guzzi History" according to Redcatcher 1968-69. Very informative. Rewarding and interesting read for all Guzzista's. For anyone who loves Italian motorcycles.
Here is the first detailed colour history of the legendary Italian motorcycle maker's big twins-those bikes powered by engines rated 700cc and larger. Author Greg Field traces the origin of this species, illustrating with splendid colour photography its evolution from a 1967 model, whose engine was developed for use in a military three-wheeler, through today's fuel-injected twins.
