Moto Guzzi an Italian firm with roots back to the early 1920's has unvieled a pair of touring bikes powered by their trademarl transversally mounted V-Twin engine. One being a full bore highway machine a-la the Honda Golwing and the other a factory bagger along the lines of Kawasaki's popular Nomad series.These bikes will appeal to riders who want to stand out from the crowd and appreciate a very traditional yet unique motorcycle.
Here is a write up on them I found at Motorcycle Daily Moto Guzzi Shows Two New Tourers At Milan By Alex Edge Moto Guzzi has expanded its range with the addition of two new touring models for 2006. The company calls the all-new Norge 1200 a "Grand Tourer", and it will feature ABS and an electrically-adjustable windscreen. Powered by what Guzzi calls a new version of their air-cooled V-Twin, the Norge is targeted for a March 2006 launch.
On the more traditional side, the California Vintage is a touring version of the existing California cruiser, featuring a large windscreen and saddlebags. It uses the same powerplant as the other California models, a 1,064cc 2-valve V-Twin.
