Moto Guzzi has had a bit of revival in the last couple of years thanks to a new liquid-cooled platform – I went to Spain last year to review the new Stelvio for RevZilla but the bike that started it all off was the V100 Mandello. The Mandello has sold pretty well and I’d say it’s brought some buyers to the fold that normally wouldn’t consider Guzzi in the past, but here’s one that has just 500 miles and it’s being offered for basically 50% of what the original MSRP was.
This is the Aviazione Navale, a limited edition built to pay tribute to the Italian aircraft carrier Cavour. Moto Guzzi built 1913 of them (the year that the aviation division of the Italian Navy was formed), as it was in that division that the eventual founders of Moto Guzzi met each other and became friends. The livery is inspired by the Navy’s Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jets and standard features included heated grips, TPMS, plus a cover and a commemorative plaque.
Not much to say about this bike: it’s had one owner, it’s done 500 miles, and it has the comfort heated seat. If you were buying brand new I’d say the upgrade to the S would be worth the extra coin but this price seems like a winner to me.
