The Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 GT is voted "Motorcycle of the Year" by Motociclismo magazine.
At the 2007 “Motorcycle of the Year” awards held by the influential magazine “Motociclismo” the opinions of more than 36,000 readers put the Moto Guzzi Norge ahead of sacrosanct machines in the GT sector like the BMW R 1200 RT, a bike that had previously won the award seven times.
Norge 1200 GT is a Gran Turismo bike that takes its name from the original GT Norge famous for making a 4,000-mile test ride in 1928—from the company headquarters in Italy to just inside the Arctic Circle of Norway's Capo Nord — to prove its suspension prototype: the world's first rear swingarm suspension. Moto Guzzi celebrated the Norge introduction in 2005 by re-tracing the 1928 ride. Reinforcing Moto Guzzi's history, the design of the Norge and its fairing was refined in the company's historic wind tunnel at the Mandello del Lario headquarters.
According to 'Rider' magazine - "...it’s very clear that in 2007 Guzzi does know precisely what it’s doing."
