Moto Guzzi

Moto Guzzi will be celebrating its 100th year anniversary this year and to kick things off, they’ve unveiled the updated 2021 Moto Guzzi V85 TT. This ‘retro enduro’ model gets some significant updates, especially in the engine department. (more…)

Motosikal adventure Moto Guzzi, V85 TT mendapat beberapa kemas kini termasuk pilihan warna baharu bagi tahun 2021.

Menurut Moto Guzzi, kemas kini tersebut dilaksanakan selepas mengambil kira maklum balas daripada pemilik motosikal itu sebelum ini.

Enjin 853cc V-Twin (90 darjah) kini menghasilkan lebih tork pada RPM rendah hasil daripada meningkatkan timing cam pushroad dan rocker manakala rim spoke (tubeless) terbaru ini adalah 1.5 kilogram lebih ringan.

Antara ciri menarik lain ditawarkan:

  • ABS
  • Ride-by-wire
  • Cruise control
  • Paparan TFT

Sistem elektronik juga dipertingkat dengan dua mod tunggangan diperkenalkan, Sport dan Custom sertai mod sedia ada, Strada, Pioggia dan Off-Road.

Selain itu, Moto Guzzi turut perkenalkan pilihan grafik Nero Etna, Giallo Mojave dan Ross Uluru.

Sementara itu, varian tertinggi, V85 TT Travel, kini dilengkapi dengan penghadang angin Touring, pannier, lampu LED, heated grip serta platform Multimedia Moto Guzzi MIA.

It’s been a while since we heard anything from Moto Guzzi and to break the silence, they’ve launched the new 2021 Moto Guzzi V7 range which consists of two variants – V7 Stone and V7 Special. This range is now more powerful and refined than ever, and that’s always a good start. (more…)

Moto Guzzi telah memperkenalkan dua model V7 yang kini tampil dengan , spesifikasi lebih tinggi dan enjin baharu untuk 2021.

*Moto Guzzi V7 Stone

V7 merupakan model paling popular dan paling lama ditawarkan Moto Guzzi, dengan kilang Mandello del Lario telah menghasilkan model itu untuk tempoh 50 tahun.

*Moto Guzzi V7 Special

Bagaimanapun untuk 2021, Moto Guzzi telah menaik taraf model itu dengan ciri serba baharu antaranya enjin yang kini 850cc berbanding 744cc sebelum ini.

*Enjin 850cc

Hasilnya, V7 Stone dan Special menjana 25 peratus lebih kuasa, dari 52hp kepada 65hp dan 73.2Nm berbanding 59.6Nm sebelum ini.

Moto Guzzi turut mendakwa 80 peratus daripada tork boleh didapati seawal 3,000rpm.

Bagi mengendalikan kuasa yang lebih tinggi itu, V7 2021 ini dilengkapi dengan tayar belakang yang lebih lebar dan penyerap hentakan belakang Kayaba yang lebih besar.

*Moto Guzzi V7 Stone

Rekaan juga telah dikemas kini dengan bahagian panel tepi serba baharu dan mudguard belakang lebih pendek berbanding sebelum ini.

Tahap keselesaan juga lebih baik dengan tempat duduk dan fork depan depan baharu di samping MGCT traction control (yang boleh dipadam).

Didi Resources, the official distributor of Moto Guzzi and other Piaggio brands here in Malaysia (Vespa & Aprilia) is looking into expanding its business in the lifestyle department. Our recent outing to the IOI City Mall in Putrajaya saw that a Moto Guzzi lifestyle store will be opening soon at the shopping complex. (more…)

Piaggio closed off the sales year of 2019 with a bang as they celebrated a revenue increase of 9.5%. In total, they’ve managed to deliver a total of 611,300 vehicles worldwide of which 399,600 of them were from their collection of two-wheel brands. (more…)

Disebabkan model klasik enduro Moto Guzzi V85TT semakin mendapat tempat di hati peminat dua roda terutamanya di Eropah, pengeluar aksesori motosikal, Rizoma, telah melancarkan koleksi aksesori khas bagi model tersebut.

Siapa yang tak kenal jenama Rizoma? Dari pengguna kapcai sehinggalah ke superbike. Rizoma sememangnya terkenal dengan penjualan aksesori yang membolehkan mana-mana jentera kelihatan lebih garang berbanding rupa standard.

Rizoma memperkenalkan 17 aksesori khas bagi Moto Guzzi V85TT yang terdiri daripada pelindung lampu depan, cermin anti silau dengan cermin aspheric, rali pegs (foot peg) bagi penunggang dan pembonceng, kickstand extension, pod lampu isyarat kiri dan kanan, serta lever brek dan klac.

Kesemua aksesori ini didatangkan dengan gabungan warna hitam dan merah dan boleh dipadankan dengan ketiga-tiga warna yang terdapat pada V85TT.

 

Difahamkan, setiap komponen berharga dari USD19 hingga USD192.

Menerusi aksesori ini, pemilik V85TT boleh mengubah jentera mengikut cita rasa sendiri. Meskipun rata-rata aksesori ini hanya akan mengubah nilai estetik namun penggunaan rali peg mampu membawa perbezaan ketara terutamanya ketika merentas permukaan ‘off-road’.

Pemilik V85TT boleh membuat tempahan di laman sesawang Rizoma.

  • Goh Brothers official workshops rolled out a special Service Clinic and Merdeka Campaign for Aprilia and Moto Guzzi owners.

  • The offer includes just RM 10 for an original engine oil filter.

  • Please visit the nearest Goh Brothers workshop for more details.

The official imported and distributor of Aprilia motorcycles in Malaysia, Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd. has rolled out a special Service Clinic and Merdeka Campaign for Aprilia owners.

The campaign seeks to care for Aprilia and Moto Guzzi owners in the country, letting them enjoy their pride and joy without as much as a worry.

As Juan Chow Wee, General Manager of Didi Resources put it, listening to customers goes beyond just selling motorcycles.

Through this special clinic, the official Goh Brothers workshops are offering the original engine oil filter from just RM 10. Together with semi-synthetic engine oil change, parts and labour, the cost totals only from RM 270 for an oil change service. (A big bike service at official service centres usually cost from RM 350 and upwards.)

The promotion is available at official Goh Brothers workshops (GBMC) in both Aprilia and Moto Guzzi official dealers.

Ownership and maintenance of large capacity motorcycles doesn’t necessarily mean high costs at official workshops. Do note that technicians are trained to carry out the job and only approved tools and machinery are used. Also, servicing at the official workshop prevents from voiding your motorcycle’s warranty.

  • The figure results in a 29.6% increase in net profit over the same period last year.

The Piaggio Group reported a 12% increase in consolidated net sales for the first half (H1) of 2019, compared to the same period last year. The conglomerate cited the Moto Guzzi V85TT as the main driving force for the uptick.

The increased net sales translate to € 817 million, up from € 729 million in H1 2018. Net profit after tax is up 29.6% at € 34.6 million, up from € 26.7 in the same period last year.

Piaggio Group (PG) owns several motorcycle brands including Aprilia, Derbi, Gilera, Moto Guzzi, Piaggio and Scarabeo. They also produce commercial vehicles. Apart from Aprilia and Moto Guzzi, the other brands produce mostly and scooters exclusively.

In any case, they shipped a total of 321,500 scooters and motorcycles in H1 2019, which a 5.7% increase from 304,000 in H1 2018.

Biggest growth was seen in the Asia Pacific region (up 20.2%), followed by a combined European and the Americas (up 6.7%) and India (up 0.5%).

PG further elaborated that the Vespa brand contributed to a 16% turnover growth. However, it was the three-wheeled Piaggio Mp3 which contributed the largest number “by more than 20%”

But there’s no hiding the success of the Moto Guzzi V85TT, which the group is using as an all-round performer against their rivals. Moto Guzzi contributed a 14% increase in revenue to the group. This is what they have to say, “…The Moto Guzzi brand… achieved a significant sales increase, generated in particular by the excellent results of the new Moto Guzzi V85TT, the all-terrain model that has enjoyed great success since it began shipping in February.”

Interestingly, PG had not published the sales performance of Moto Guzzi motorcycles prior to this. They had only stated MG sales as “encouraging” last year.
