With a standard riding position, the Bellagio was introduced at EICMA 2006 (tentatively named the "940 Custom"), along with a new 1,200 cc, 8-valve engine, a 940 cc 4-valve engine, the new Griso 1200 and Norge 850. Though not currently available in North America, a recent Piaggio press release indicates the Bellagio is key to Guzzi's North American presence

• Breva – named after a breeze that blows across the Lago di Lecco, above whose shores the factory is located—in three configurations: 750, 850 and 1100. The two larger models differ significantly from the 750—featuring the CARC suspension and enhanced performance.

• Breva 750 i.e. (744 cc) (since 2002): a Standard motorcycle formally introduced to the press at Intermot
  Intermot
  INTERMOT Cologne is a biennial trade show for motorcycle manufacturers. The trade show began in Munich in 1998, though originally founded in Cologne. Since 2004 it has moved to koelnmesse in Cologne. The Intermot 2006 had over 1.000 exhibitors and some 187.000 visitors....
  
   2002, Munich — Like the Nevada features the 'small block' engine derived directly from the engine Carcano designed for Guzzi in the mid-sixties and Tonti refined: the 750 cc V-twin, rated at 48 bhp. With its ease of maintenance, durability and even, flat torque curve, the engine design remains suitable to everyday, real-world situations. To mark the rejuvenation of Moto Guzzi, the first Breva 750 was delivered to its owner on April 7, 2003 in a special ceremony at the Mandello works. Likewise, the first 100 Breva 750's were delivered to their Italian dealers in a special ceremony on March 26, 2003 at Mandello del Lario headquarters on the occasion of the company's anniversary.

• Breva 1100/1100 ABS (1,064 cc) (since 2005): introduced in Europe in 2005 and in the US in 2006. Breva 1100 ABS not available in the US.

• California Vintage (1,064 cc) (since 2005): named after and heavily recalling Guzzi's earlier police-styled California

   model introduced originally in 1970 — 36 years later, the 'vintage' introduced in 2006: a riding posture between Cruiser and Standard, new graphics, spoked wheels, chrome mudguards, throttle body guards, integrated front fairing, coordinated panniers protected with chromed steel tubes, chromed luggage rack, foot guards, heated handgrips (Europe), stainless steel fenders, large windshield, supplementary fog lights, black and white paint scheme, two-toned seat, 1100 cc air-cooled V-twin, imported from the Breva 1100, twin spark cylinder heads, 74 hp at 6,400 rpm and 94 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm.

• California Classic (1,064 cc): variation of the California model, not available in the US, sans panniers and other equipment. Technically identical to California Vintage.

• Griso 1100 (1,064 cc) (since 2005): literally "gray one," named after a gray-bearded character in the famous Italian literature saga The Betrothed

   in Milan, when Moto Guzzi was still owned by Aprilia. After Piaggio absorbed Moto Guzzi, they proceeded (in house) to quickly develop the Griso for production, adapting Guzzi's historic V-twin engine to the new bike. In keeping with the bike's hard-edged, techno-custom styling, an over-sized oil radiator graces the right side of the engine, in plain view.

• Griso 8V In September 2007 at GMG, Moto Guzzi introduced the Griso 8V, featuring a heavily revised engine with 4 valves per cylinder. Motorcycle news wrote: "in doing so, the striking-looking Griso has been transformed from a lumbering yet evocative old-school roadster into a charging rhino of a motorcycle with true 140 mi/h potential." At 1,151 cc, the engine has been heavily revised, and the bike now features an unusual exhaust with a ‘8’ cross-section at the rear, revised brakes, handlebars and seat.

• Griso 850 (877 cc) (since 2006): variation of the Griso with the 850 engine, not available in the US.

• Nevada Classic 750 i.e. (744 cc) (since 2004): named after the previous Guzzi Nevada (1991–2001) — first available May 2004; meets Euro 3

(since 2010 Nevada Anniversario).

• Norge 850 (877 cc) (since 2007) a variation of the Norge model, equipped with the 850 engine, not available in the US.

• Norge 1200 (1,134 cc) (since 2005): a GT (Gran Turismo) bike that derives its name from the original GT Norge famous for making a 4,000-mile (6,400 km) test ride in 1928 —from the company headquarters in Italy to just inside the Arctic Circle

• Stelvio 1200 (1,134 cc) (since 2008): named after the famous Stelvio Pass

   in the Italian Alps, this adventure touring type of dual sport motorbike is directly aimed at the market defined by the highly-successful BMW GS. It is currently (2011) available in two versions - the Stelvio ABS and the Stelvio NTX. Whilst both models of Stelvio can be said to be toward the road-biased end of the adventure touring spectrum, the NTX version has been fitted with parts that make it more suitable to rough terrain (spoked wheels, sump guard, crash rails).

• 1200 Sport/1200 Sport ABS (1,151 cc) (since 2006): originally to have been named the Breva S — introduced at Intermot 2006 in Cologne, heavily revised version of the 90°, 1,151 cc V-Twin, all-new chassis, 90° V-Twin with 94 hp and 74 lbft of torque, revised intake tract, redesigned intake and exhaust ports, an all-new exhaust system, twin spark plugs, lighter pistons and lightweight rods, revised oil system, alternator mounted between the two cylinders, white-faced instruments, optional ABS, two available performance kits to increase power above 100 hp. Neither available in the US.

• MGS-01 Corsa (1,222 cc) (since 2004) (track only): a very limited production racing bike — introduced at Intermot 2002 (Cologne Motorcycle Show) as a prototype. The bike had been designed starting in 2002 with the Moto Guzzi Style Laboratory and a team at Ghezzi-Brian— with co-founder Giuseppe Ghezzi. The MGS-01 features an air-cooled 1,256 cc four-stroke engine with high compression three-segment Cosworth pistons, ceramic-coated cylinders, bushings instead of bearings, upside-down front fork, extra long swinging fork swingarm in box section aluminium, rear single shock absorber vertically located, disc hydraulic drive clutch, one-piece quick-release carbon fiber body design, Brembo brakes with radial mounted callipers, six-speed gearbox (as a structural component of the bike) and shaft drive — weighing in at 423 pounds (191.9 kg). As a pure racing bike, the MGS-01 Corsa was originally intended for a domestic Italian homologation model, though has since been raced (successfully) also in the US. Production will be highly limited, with bikes shipped in special wooden crates carrying a special MGS-01 logo on the outside and a personalized spiral-bound and owners, parts and maintenance manual. Moto Guzzi continues to supply engines to Ghezzi & Brian for their own line of production custom bikes.

. This model was a further development of the 1971 750 V7 Sport designed by Guzzi engineer Lino Tonti. The V7 Sport was planned as the first five speed, 200 kg (440.9 lb), 200 kilometres per hour (124.3 mph), production motorcycle. It signified a major step forward in the design of a more sporting Guzzi, with a more compact frame being made possible by replacement of the dynamo, sitting high between the cylinders, with an alternator sited on the end of the crank at the front of the engine. The 750S and 750 S3 followed, but it was the 850 Le Mans, with its disc brakes and additional displacement, that lived up to the promise of the V7 Sport and really caught the public's imagination. When the Le Mans debuted in 1976 it was among the 5 best performing road bikes available.

Six versions of the Le Mans have been produced, designated: Le Mans, Le Mans Mk II, Le Mans Mk III, LeMans Mk IV, Le Mans Mk V and V11 Le Mans. The Le Mans, II and III are 850 cc, the IV and V are 1,000 cc and the V11 Le Mans is 1,064 cc. The first two models had rounded air-cooling fins on the barrels while the latter have squared fins (known as "round-fin" and "square-fin"). All models have shaft drive. Early models use 36 mm or 40 mm Dell'Orto
