Recently re-connected with an old Guzzi buddy of mine in Scottsdale who told me he recently found and brought his "Dream Bike" - A genuine Ghezzi-Brian Folgore!! Cool beans all around!! :bow: :thumb: :cool: :boozing:

I sent an email to our main man Nolan Woodbury for his commentary. Here is what he said:
That's an old crush JJ. Was very fortunate to become friends with the dudes at G&B, covering them for M-E at the Guzzi factory - parked right next to the wind tunnel. Tested a black over silver frame Supertwin all during WSB at Laguna, 2004 IIRC. Good memories, but the bike wasn't set up very well. It is without a doubt the smallest big-bore Guzzi ever. 3/4 size.
Would have been more than happy with the 'regular' Supertwin 1100 without gold wheels, etc. Originally, the Folgore name was used for the 4v version, then just a trim package. Ha! G&B delivered them with an 1100 Sport factory manual.

That is a beautiful and uncomfortable looking Guzzi. Looks like they took some ideas from a Buell Firebolt for the front end (rim rotors, fairing). Dual rim rotors! That must have tons of braking power.
