EICMA: Millepercento Alba and Motard One - Moto Guzzi Customs

Both bikes were shown at EICMA in Milan this year, and both drew large crowds. The Alba is based on a Moto Guzzi BB1 - which itself is based on the Moto Guzzi Griso - and has been lightened and customized with some very nice looking bodywork. The second machine is also based on a Moto Guzzi and designed by Filippo Barbacane - he of Moto Guzzi Diamante concept - and is called Motard One. Both machines are supposed to weigh less than 397 lb (180 kg) and they have a trellis frame. Have a look - the Motard One (pictured here) doesn't look too comfortable, but it certainly looks fun!

New Take on Moto Guzzi Griso 8V - Diamante

Fillippo Barbacane has taken an already great motorcycle and made it better - of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But, this machine, with a single-sided swingarm front and back, new bodywork and a high state of tune (140 hp!) is something to behold for sure...if you like it, hurry up and buy it as there will only be 30 of them made.
