The company was founded in 1921 on the shores of Lake Como in the village of Mandello del Lario, Italy, where the motorcycles are still manufactured today.

Moto Guzzi established its tradition of unique technical solutions and bold styling early in its history with innovations such as the swing arm suspension in 1928, the V8 race bike in 1955, and the unmistakable 90-degree V-Twin, a legend the moment it was introduced in 1967.
