Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Today, Moto Guzzi is on the verge of a new chapter in its remarkable story of survival with a new and exciting range of motorcycles that sees this Italian company once again in the limelight.

A detailed history of this internationally known and charismatic marque, The Moto Guzzi Story is filled with many never-before published photographs, coverage of its racing successes in the 1930s and 1950s, the introduction of the V7 Sport and the Le Mans, the 1000cc Daytona, the remarkably long-lived 500cc Falcone, and the V7.

5 out of 5 stars Great over-all history   June 26, 2002

This is arguably the best book on Guzzis I have read.
The opinions are pretty objective and the author lets you know what HE would have bought, given the choice!
Lots of good pictures, sourced from around the world.
Ian Falloon tries not to miss-out any of the twins & even has a nice section on the little 4 valves.

I recommend this to any Guzzi enthusiast.

The February issue of Motor Cyclist Magazine reviewd this book and rated it very highly (that is where I learned about it and will order one). I have always loved Guzzi's and the last line in the review says "Be careful of this book; it can make you want a Moto Guzzi" - you will too!


5 out of 5 stars Long overdue   August 16, 1999

The credible and respectable work of Ian Falloon, both photographic and journalistic, is of extreme value in filling a huge gap ever-present in the MOTO GUZZI fanatic's English-published history library. He has taken aedquate time to properly research with sincerety his chosen subject first-hand and utilized the full range of world-wide resources available. A job well done, thank you, sir.
