Ghezzi & Brian

Ghezzi & Brian is an Italian motorcycle engineering firm and manufacturer based in Missaglia.

History

Ghezzi & Brian was founded in 1995 or 1996 by Giuseppe Ghezzi and Bruno (Brian) Saturno, both former racers, to develop racing motorcycles using twin-cylinder engines.[1]

Starting in 1999, the company began to sell motorcycles for street use. A fundamental characteristic of all the Ghezzi & Brian machines is sportiness and personality derived from Moto Guzzi V layout twin-cylinder engines.

Models

The first model put in production is the SuperTwin 1100, derived from the Championship 1996 machine.[1]

The Furia was called "close to streetfighter perfection" in a Motorcycle.com review.[2]

The Pro-Thunder has been developed exclusively for participation in the American A.M.A. Championship. It has a Moto Guzzi 1225 cc motor.

The Fionda was introduced in 2004.

In 2024, the firm introduced the Monza, a Moto Guzzi V11 kit optionally including a new swingarm and high compression pistons.[3]

Engineering and tuning

Ghezzi & Brian are active, beyond being a motorcycle manufacturer, also as:

• Engineering for the motorcycle industry. The activity began in 2002, and that has given rise to the Moto Guzzi MGS-01 Corsa.
• Tuning, dedicated particularly to Moto Guzzi but not exclusively to them. It also produces parts and chassis according to the customer's specifications.
