1988 Moto Guzzi Mille GT

In 1988, Moto Guzzi launched the 1988 Moto Guzzi Mille GT — a touring motorcycle that would come to define an era of motorcycling. Hailing from Italy, it combined Italy engineering with touring motorcycle appeal.

At the heart of the 1988 Moto Guzzi Mille GT sits a 949cc OHV V-twin engine producing 68 horsepower at 6500 rpm. The twin-cylinder powerplant features a twin-cylinder layout with air-cooled cooling, fed by 2x Dell'Orto carburetors. Power reaches the rear wheel through a 5-speed transmission and shaft final drive.

Built around a steel tube frame frame, the 1988 Moto Guzzi Mille GT suspends its 240 kg (529 lbs) on telescopic fork forks and twin shock rear units. Braking relies on dual disc at the front and single disc at the rear, with a 1520 mm wheelbase providing stability.

Performance-wise, the 1988 Moto Guzzi Mille GT achieves a claimed top speed of 195 km/h (121 mph). With a generous fuel capacity of 22.0 liters, it offers reasonable range for touring motorcycle duties. The seat height of 810 mm makes it comfortable for most riders.
