Moto Guzzi’s second concept from EICMA is the Moto Guzzi V12 Strada (also check out the Moto Guzzi V12 LM & Moto Guzzi V12 X). Also built around the Mandello 1,200cc v-twin motor, the Stada is shorter and reminds a lot of the Aprilia Mana X with its banana seat and snubbed nose. Photos and more after the jump.

Not quite a streetfighter, not quite a supermoto, the Moto Guzzi V12 Strada manages to make a big motor look small and maneuverable. This is probably because the concept bike is almost all engine and stripped down to only the bare essentials cosmetically. Still, the V12 Strada is very tastefully done.



















Press Release:

This is the essential bike and the most versatile model in the V12 range. Perfect for everyday commuting, comfortable for two-up riding, with perfect naked ergonomics. The touring-style handlebar is matched by the generously sized tail fairing capable of accommodating a comfortable passenger saddle. The V12 Strada sports a range of technical solutions and aesthetic details built around the Moto Guzzi twin-cylinder engine, that would have been unthinkable with a conventional engine layout. The passenger footpegs are connected to the swingarm through a linkage system and look as if they were floating in air, enhancing that sleek, uncluttered look that is at the core of the styling concept.
