Inspiration comes from many places and experiences. Guzzi has so many stories like this that guide the evolution of their design. So yes, it's in there one way or another.

I'd say the Quota is pretty similar to that Bike.

Well, the inspiration were the various Moto Guzzi NTX (350, 650 and 750), as Piaggio Group said.

I’d have to agree. Even down to the 17” rear tire. Tank looks similar too.
