History
editGhezzi & Brian was founded in 1995 or 1996 by Giuseppe Ghezzi and Bruno (Brian) Saturno, both former racers, to develop racing motorcycles using twin-cylinder engines.[1]
Starting in 1999, the company began to sell motorcycles for street use. A fundamental characteristic of all the Ghezzi & Brian machines is sportiness and personality derived from Moto Guzzi V layout twin-cylinder engines.
Models
editThe first model put in production is the SuperTwin 1100, derived from the Championship 1996 machine.[1]
The Furia was called "close to streetfighter perfection" in a Motorcycle.com review.[2]
The Pro-Thunder has been developed exclusively for participation in the American A.M.A. Championship. It has a Moto Guzzi 1225 cc motor.
The Fionda was introduced in 2004.
In 2024, the firm introduced the Monza, a Moto Guzzi V11 kit optionally including a new swingarm and high compression pistons.[3]
Engineering and tuning
editGhezzi & Brian are active, beyond being a motorcycle manufacturer, also as:
- Engineering for the motorcycle industry. The activity began in 2002, and that has given rise to the Moto Guzzi MGS-01 Corsa.
- Tuning, dedicated particularly to Moto Guzzi but not exclusively to them. It also produces parts and chassis according to the customer's specifications.
