MOTO GUZZI Norge 1200 (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 was a touring motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi from 2006 until 2016, when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello. Its name was also used on the 1920s Moto Guzzi GT Norge.

The bike was presented in November 2005 at the Eicma Show and released into production from 2006 wearing a 1,200cc engine. In the following year, the maker also introduced an 850cc version.

The bike was inspired by the Breva version, where the main difference was the front fairing that covered eighty percent of the engine for better wind protection. The fairing comprised a tip that diverted the airflow from the engine base and two other small fairings placed on the sides.

The touring machine was delivered with ABS as standard, a system that helped in slippery situations, and the engine was mounted transversally in a Moto Guzzi style. The power unit was air/oil-cooled with a small radiator for cooling the oil.

As for performance, the 2006 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 had installed a 1,151cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled V-twin engine underneath its fairing, delivering an output power of 90 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 6,800 rpm.

The bike featured a dual headlight system, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, side-mounted hard panniers, a two-into-one exhaust system, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.
