Founded in 1995 by Giuseppe Ghezzi and Bruno “Brian” Saturno, Ghezzi-Brian is a boutique Italian outfit that produces high-performance Moto Guzzi-based models using a wealth of knowledge gained from racing the longitudinally-mounted V-Twins.
G-B originally developed a hopped-up Guzzi-based racer that won the 1996 Italian SuperTwin Championship, and that machine ultimately became the basis of the small firm’s debut model: the SuperTwin 1100 (or ST1100). Over the years their lineup has expanded to offer nearly 10 models (and they were instrumental in the design of the iconic Moto Guzzi MGS-01).
One of Ghezzi-Brian’s models is the Sports Monza – they call it “a supersport transformation” of the Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans. Per the company: “The aesthetics are completely redesigned, resulting in a motorcycle with a modern and aggressive line, in which the kit significantly reduces weight. The bike also marked the return of a Moto Guzzi to the track, and riders appreciate it above all for its “sincerity” and rideability characteristics.”
Clients could either order a complete bike directly from Ghezzi-Brian, or order a kit to convert their existing V11. The kit (which does not require any permanent modifications to the original bike) is comprised of a main frame, sub frame, fiberglass bodywork, headlights, aluminum gas tank, fuel pump, digital dash, rear lights, and there’s extensive options to mix and match so you can build the bike of your dreams.
This example is VIN: ZGUKS00001M211891. The seller is the second owner, he acquired it six months ago from the original owner in the Netherlands. The original owner built this bike with a Ghezzi-Brian kit.
Per the seller, this is one of just six Sport Monzas that Ghezzi-Brian is aware of.
