Get Ready! Moto Guzzi Might Just Bring Back the Stornello Legacy from the 60s!
Well, almost. Sure, there was a glimpse with the special edition V7 in 2016, but the true Stornello magic hasn’t graced us since 1974.
What’s brewing in the Moto Guzzi pot to earn the Stornello name back is still a bit of a mystery. All we know for now is that ‘Stornello’ has been freshly registered by Moto Guzzi in the US, as revealed by Motociclismo.
Cast your mind back to the 60s when the original Stornello ruled the roads with its two-stroke engine, offered in 125cc and 160cc flavors. It was Moto Guzzi’s answer to tough times, akin to what the Monster represented for Ducati in the 90s.
The current smallest wonder in Moto Guzzi’s lineup is the V7, the very bike that inspired that limited edition gem. Sharing its gutsy 850cc twin-cylinder engine with the V85, the V7 is all about accessible performance in an affordable package. So, a modern Stornello with a nod to its roots could shake things up, offering a fresh take on ‘Guzzi’s entry-level offerings.
Yet, Moto Guzzi isn’t just about churning out bikes in bulk. It’s a brand that thrives on exclusivity, crafting motorcycles that are a cut above the rest. This hints at a potential shift or perhaps a bold leap into new territory with the Stornello revival.
