  Moto Guzzi
Moto Guzzi is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most succesful and celebrated Italian motorcycle makes ever.
Moto Guzzi almost imediately got into racing, and the success of its bikes was largely due to the victories they achieved on the circuits.
Moto Guzzi’s racing successes had such on impact on the company image (it is well known that generally race victories sell motorcycles - a theory all the more valid for Italy) that by the 1930s it grew up to be Italy’s largest motorcycle manufacturer.

If you've ever ridden one of Guzzi's big twins - the range was a big seller in the US from the early seventies through the early eighties, with models including the California, the Le Mans and the Convert - you'll recognize Guzzi's big 90 degree transverse Vee twin motor.
The Guzzi is big, powerful (as in a claimed, and believable, 90 hp), and has dauntingly effective brakes and shaft drive.
There are no absolutely rational reasons for owning a Guzzi: other bikes are faster, the other Italian bikes are better handling and still faster, other bikes are as reliable (Moto Guzzi has a reputation of stalwart reliability: they've been making these motors a long time) and other brands have more dealership coverage.

 Motorcycle Online: Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport
Mention Moto Guzzi, and images of quirky motorcycles with agricultural long-stroke motors, enormous wheelbases, peculiar brakes, clunky gearboxes and vibration that could rattle your fillings loose come to mind.
Moto Guzzis have always been saddled with countless peculiarities that their owners chalk up to character while the rest of the world brands them as flawed.
One particular oddity that plagues Guzzis is their tendency to rise and fall mid-corner in reaction to throttle changes, due to the rotating mass effect of the crankshaft.

 Moto Guzzi California Special Sport - Road Test & Review - Motorcyclist Online
The deal works out for both sides, actually, as Moto Guzzi is finally able to upgrade its facilities and pump out some bikes it's had on the drawing board for a while, and Aprilia now has motorcycles in markets heretofore ignored by the scooter and superbike manufacturer.
Guzzi claims a 29-inch seat height for the Special Sport, but the seat is uncommonly wide, which makes the bike feel taller than it is. Plopping down into the comfortable seat one's gaze falls onto the tastefully painted yet bulbous tank rising forward below your body as if you were astride a two-tone hot dog.
Helping matters is a slick five-speed gearbox that Moto Guzzi says has been redesigned to make shifting and finding neutral easier, and we don't doubt it.

Following up on the 750cc version of this machine introduced last year, Moto Guzzi has introduced at Milan the Breva V 1100.
Perhaps, most interesting about the Breva V 1100 is the "reactive shaft drive" patented by Moto Guzzi, which is a design that incorporates the shaft drive in the aluminum alloy swingarm.
According to Moto Guzzi, "the distinctive characteristics of this original and extremely compact system is elimination of the anti-shaft effect normally caused by shaft drive." Again, according to Moto Guzzi, this results in "a consistently fluid ride without the 'jerks' during acceleration and throttle release typical of shaft drive.
