Moto Guzzi V12 X concept: a new archetype for naked Guzzis

If you’re having a little trouble telling the three Pierre Terblanche/Miguel Galluzzi (the guy responsible for the Monster and RSV4) bikes apart aside from the colors, you’re not alone and these live photos don’t help. We’ll hopefully be able to bring you studio shots soon. Apart from being the white one, the Moto Guzzi V12 X is less of an outright sportsbike than the red Le Mans, but more sporting than the green Strada. That means it’s got a comfortable looking seat, but relatively low bars and what Guzzi says is tight suspension and a “rev-happy” engine. Terblanche stated during the unveiling at EICMA, “These are really production bikes – 80% of them could be put in to production, only some details like the headlight have pushed beyond.” We can imagine this one with a nice round lamp leading the way.
