On the first weekend of September, the Moto Guzzi
Open House is back. From Friday 6 September through
Sunday 8 September, the Mandello del Lario factory will
be open to the general public and enthusiasts, with thou-
sands expected from all over the world. The factory is
the “eagle's nest”, the birthplace of all Moto Guzzi bikes
which have been on roads all over the world since 1921.
The queen of the 2019 event in Mandello will be the
new Moto Guzzi V85 TT, the all-terrain bike that is the
big seller this year which is winning over new Guzzisti
all over the world and which – it's easy to predict – will
be the most sought after bike for the test rides.
As per tradition, Moto Guzzi has prepared a rich
schedule of events which will unfold around the Moto
Guzzi Village. Music and entertainment will be right
in the heart of the Larian factory and it is there where participants will be able to sign up for the test rides which,
taken on the roads surrounding Mandello, will feature, in addition to the V85 TT, all of the bikes in the Moto Guzzi
range, from the many versions of the V7 III, moving on to the V9 Bobber and Roamer and going all the way to the
majestic 1400cc bikes in the California family, including the powerful MGX-21.
Starting on the afternoon of Friday, 6 September, the shop will open up, with all the new apparel and merchan-
dising, as well as the Moto Guzzi Museum, which houses more than 150 bikes that have written the history of one of
the most noble brands in global motorcycling. On Saturday morning, tours of the production lines and the historic
Wind Tunnel will begin.
At Open House 2019, there will be plenty of talk about travel and adventure thanks to the V85 TT, but also about
sport and racing, with the protagonists of the Moto Guzzi Fast Endurance competition which, in its first edition, has
already become a reference trophy in the panorama of the most classic races.
The Official Historic Archive will be available for all
those who want to research the documents of origin of
their own Moto Guzzi bikes, whereas members of The
Clan, the community of bikers who share their love for
Moto Guzzi, will have special dedicated services, such
as reserved parking, a free check up on their bikes, a
welcome kit and discounts on the 2019 Moto Guzzi brand
collection.
